It adopts a steel structure, which is more flexible and lighter than traditional reinforced concrete construction methods and can also reduce carbon emissions. The 410-square-meter green roof is developed based on a stable door-shaped structure and is slowly expanded. Out of the curvature of the curved surface, countless small triangular steel plates are connected in series to form one point after another. The particles are stacked into three-dimensional lines and surfaces, forming a natural and smooth twisting angle like hills.The connection between the roof and the land is smoothly transformed into a staircase, replacing the abrupt inward arc and the conflicting feeling of the steel end turning, making it naturally become a part of the landscape; in addition, a green roof is also built The water circulation system is used for the sustainable growth and maintenance of plants, and also allows visitors to step on the grass to rest and enjoy the different urban ecological scenery.In order to echo the green texture of Caowu Road, Kengo Kuma's architectural team also used nearly 1,282 wood grain grilles of various shapes on the exterior of the building to deepen the warm temperament of Qin Art Museum, and used large-area floor-to-ceiling windows to create a penetrating space that extends The vision of the internal and external landscape makes the field of vision wider.

The architectural team used neat and delicate beveled corners to deliberately reveal the lines of the building materials, layer by layer to create a spatial texture with varying depths. The wooden grilles surrounding the space also reflect different flows of light and shadow as the day and night change. , bring richer imagination.With the arrival of public facilities, the opening of the first exhibition, cultural and educational promotion and other activities, the Qin Art Museum will officially transform into an imaginative and inspiring place in the neighborhood, using multiple functions to lead everyone into in-depth artistic exploration.Qin Art Museum CMP INSPIRATIONAddress | No. 79, Guanqian Road, West District, Taichung City 403Phone｜04-2328-5000
