Designed by United Design Group (UDG China), their proposal for the Contemporary Art Museum faces the main artery crossing the city of Jinan east to west. With the ambition to become the landmark of this urban sector, the first step of the process was to establish a relationship with the existing buildings; the main idea was to complete the sequence of boxes, maintaining the symmetry of the system. More images and architects’ description after the break.
The Contemporary Art Museum will host not only exhibition areas but also education/training areas and offices. The site is located in the southern part of Jinan, the capitol of Shandong Province and is part of an urban expansion that includes in its west side, the Urban Planning Museum and north, the City Archive, both already finished (with very little success!). South of the site, the scene is dominated by the mountains skyline.
