Art Gallery and Museum

Few square blocks are risen from the ground and surrounded by reflecting pool. Give out a sense of calm and peace. At night, the blocks are lighted up like crystals floating on the water. Arrangement of the blocks are inspired by Sets and Venn diagram which implies the theory of union, intersect and subset. Approximately 2,200m² of the area are used as exhibition and performace area. Buildings are partially enclosed which they are mostly open air. This allows natural ventilation to be occured as the heat rises and escapes out from the openning on the top of the buildings which as a result to stack effect. Large area of reflecting pool is used to cooler the buildings as well as provide an aesthectic value.
