This architectural project is the result of a winning competition bid by Shigeru Ban Architects for the centerpiece of a revitalization plan for a 50 hectare site that was converted from an old freight railway. The tensile roof structure is composed of laminated timber and covered by translucent fiberglass and teflon. The architecture contains several large galleries and an auditorium and a studio theater. The museum is intended to hold films, lectures and temporary exhibitions all year round as well as live performances.
