New Taipei City Art Museum / KRIS YAO | ARTECH

The New Taipei City Art Museum is situated on reclaimed land at the convergence of the Yingge River and Dahan River. The gently sloping site resembles an island within the flowing streams, offering captivating views of the majestic mountain and river landscapes. To the north lies Guilun Mountain, while to the south, the museum overlooks the Dahan River and Xueshan Range. Drawing inspiration from the region's rich history and culture, the design incorporates elements such as the dry riverbed, the quaint charm of old streets and brick buildings, and the swaying reeds, particularly abundant during the autumn and winter seasons, to create a modern and prospective architectural form, a "museum of modern and contemporary art among the reeds."
