Ordos Art Museum

Ordos City, China

Architects: DnA Design and Architecture

Any: 2007

Ordos Art Museum is the first building of Ordos new civic center on a stretch of sand dunes along lake that is dedicated as “public corridor” with art and cultural facilities. This 2700sm of exhibition and research program is distributed within an undulating form with a central span lifting clear off the ground, suggesting a desert viper winding over the dunes.

The space is conceived as one uninterrupted room with series of openings absorbing natural light while offering cinematic views of the raw surroundings; the art exhibition mingles with natural landscape which becomes an integrated experience for views.
