He art museum

The architecture of He Art Museum (HEM), totalling 16,000 square meters, is designed by architect Tadao Ando. The exhibition area of HEM is approximately 8,000 square meters. Ando’s design presents his signature with the use of slick concrete, while cooperating various natural elements including light, water and wind into the context of Lingnan Architectural Culture within the design. The Architectural Concept and Cultural Context. The design of the building takes ‘harmony’ as the theme. From the architectural design to the very details, a variety of circles is presented. It attempts to create a new arts and cultural centre infused with the Lingnan architectural culture. These circles constructed the space of the building through ripple-like expansion: from top to bottom, with the overlapping of four circles. With each area’s clear-cut periphery, an enriched variation effect is created through the interaction between spaces.
