MINSHENG ART MUSEUM

Minsheng Museum of Modern Art in Beijing,China was designed by Zei Pei,and it is meant to be a renovation of an old Panasonic factory in the 1980’s. The project used the older factory hall with its simple concrete structure and modular facade, and its almost like it was before, theArchitect only adding a few interventions to make the new use visible.The amendments made to the building preserved the industrial character and influences of the building,albeit contrasting the older materials with newer materials in some spaces.Minsheng Museum of Modern Art’s structure divides the building into different functions,which are supported by an external courtyard-like space,a roof terrace and a sculpture park.I am quite inspired by the slants and perpendicular lines created from the structure,which I could potentially use in my creation
