New Taipei City Museum of Art by James Law Cybertecture

The proposal by James Law Cybertecture for the New Taipei City Museum of Art aims to create an architecture that itself becomes a piece of art.  The 77-meter wide structure is eleven stories high and is divided into three “zones”: the contemporary museum, the children’s museum and library, and administration.  And the core concept is the representation of the three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.

The interior is a formless space with a seamless fluidity designed to create spaces that are both unique and flexible.  The spaces between the bubble-like spheres in the cube are used to allow diffused natural light to enter.  The façade collects rainwater, while wind turbines and photovoltaic lamps generate energy.
