Ningbo Museum

Outline
This is the city's history museum with approximately 8,000m2 of exhibition space. The form of the building references the nature of Ningbo, such as mountains and valleys, and includes a terrace and an atrium in what appears to be a closed space. Traditional local building materials are reused to connect the past with the present. The use of bamboo formwork for the exterior walls and the traditional method of tile-weaving, in which bricks and tiles are embedded, make the building itself an exhibition piece.
