Museum of Art Pudong
Print Edition
Architect: Jean Nouvel
Address: 2777 Binjiang Avenue
The museum looks standard and balanced, or to say 鈥渞eserved鈥 and 鈥渋ntroverted.鈥 But it鈥檚 not dwarfed by towering skyscrapers in the bustling Lujiazui area.
From simple geometric designs to restrained decor, the marble-and-glass rectangle along the Huangpu River is a reminder that art matters. There鈥檚 also something to be said about tactfully blending into your surroundings.
Jean Nouvel himself said: 鈥業鈥檓 playing a game with the Huangpu River and surrounding spaces.鈥
The design was meant to blur the distinction between the structure and the environment.
鈥淚 hope the museum can naturally, seamlessly, integrate into the surroundings, like a serene sculpture rather than an individual building,鈥 he said.
Hence, a 53-meter-long bridge stretches from the second floor and links the museum to the waterfront platform, creating an integrated space. Facing the river are two 鈥済lass halls,鈥 one with a height of 6 meters, the other at 12 meters.
One side is paved with glass, allowing people to enjoy beautiful views of the Bund across the river, and the other side has high-reflective LEDs, mirroring the Bund view. The design echoes with the river and creates a subtle blend of light, art and image.
Small facts: Two new exhibitions will soon come to the museum. 鈥楧esign for Fun鈥 is set to begin September 28, and 鈥淭he Dynamic Eye: Op and Kinetic Art from the Tate Collection鈥 will open on September 30. Masterpieces by Jesus Rafael Soto, Victor Vasarley, Ettore Sottsass, Alessandro Mendini and more will be displayed.
