A Dune Art Museum<\/em> in China by OPEN Architecture<\/em>\u00a0\u21d2 <\/strong>The project, designed by\u00a0OPEN Architecture<\/a>, is buried within a sand dune on a quiet beach in Qinhuangdao. Largely enveloped by the dune, the 930-square-meter museum contains a total of ten interconnected galleries and a caf\u00e9. With the museum now open to the public, the first images of the project have been revealed.<\/p>\n

In September 2018, the\u00a0UCCA<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 China\u2019s leading independent institution of contemporary art \u2014 announced that it will work in partnership with\u00a0OPEN<\/a>\u00a0to program and operate the museum, which will be known as the UCCA dune.\u00a0The exhibitions have been designed to exist in dialogue with the building\u2019s unique form and its relationship with the natural surroundings. While the museum\u2019s exterior is fully integrated with nature, its interior spaces have been conceived as a mysterious network of organically shaped caves.<\/p>\n

From an environmental standpoint, openings throughout the building, each with a different orientation and size, provide natural lighting for the museum throughout the year.\u00a0meanwhile, a sand-covered roof greatly reduces the building\u2019s summer heat load, and a low-energy, zero-emission ground source heat pump system replaces traditional air conditioning.<\/p>\n

The complex three-dimensional geometry of the building\u2019s concrete shell was shaped by hand by local workers in qinhuangdao (some of whom were former shipbuilders), using formwork made from small linear strips of wood and other materials.\u00a0OPEN deliberately retained the irregular and imperfect texture left by the formwork, allowing traces of the building\u2019s manual construction to be felt and seen.<\/p>\n

OPEN is simultaneously working on plans for an adjacent sister institution \u2014 the sea art museum \u2014 which would rise out of the water like a solitary rock.\u00a0in the near future, along walkway will extend out into the ocean, allowing visitors to walk between the two museums when the tide is low.<\/p>\n
