Museum Identity – Problems?


Museum Outlook

(a) Homogeneous façade treatment of the Cultural Complex

group

• Museum looks like ancillary building to Cultural Centre

• Monolithic tiled façade reinforced the massiveness and

rigidity of the building

(b) Problem of Visual Transparency


Facelift of the Entire Building –

New Identity of the Art Museum of Hong Kong

• Create a 3D profile to reduce the bulk of the building, add Light &

shades and take reference to the existing tiles)

• Durable material

• Light weight material – Existing structural constraint

• Sustainable design (Modular system)

• Add values to the façade - Insulated layer and Art intervention

(a) New façade cladding system


(b) Transparent Building Design (For newly added areas)

• New Glass façade for Main Entrance Foyer

• New Glazed wall at G/F Annex Gallery

• New Curtain wall façade for the public lobby zone from 2/F to

4/F

• New Glass façade for roof top Gallery

by transforming the piazza into a “Forum of Art” leading from the Art Square at the

northern east of the Museum to the HKCC piazza at the western side of the Museum


Rendering – Annex Gallery



by designating the annex gallery as a “co-creative” space for staging thematic “art jam”

or “art house” exhibitions through collaboration with guest curators, artists and art groups


Rendering – Harbourside Cafe
