NINGXIA ART MUSEUM

Located in Jinfeng district of Yinchuan City, Ningxia Art Museum stands at the starting point of the east-west public activity axis of North New Town. The site is surrounded by open space in three directions and across the street from the north side of which is the Yinchuan Civic Center of a large scale.
The architectural image is extracted from the rugged and powerful form characteristics of Helan mountain stone. Through the combination of five mountain stone volumes, the architectural form with rich tension is presented. Making the museum itself a public sculpture in the city and shaping a new spiritual anchor in a larger scale environment.
The interior and exterior space of the museum are integrated, and the volume of the rock is not only the external presentation, but also extends to the internal space. In the natural gap space left by the combination of rock volumes, a variety of canyon spaces are created, forming a corridor of interdependence as between mountains and valleys.
