Asia University Museum of Modern Art Introduction
The architecture of the Asian University Museum of Modern Art is composed of exposed concrete and curtain walls, with an indoor area of 1,244 ping and an outdoor area of 6,000 ping. Designed by architect Tadao Ando, the basic element of the design is an equilateral triangle, dividing the triangular plane into three floors, which are then staggered to form numerous irregular triangles. The staggered alignment creates sky spaces and outdoor platforms, transforming into areas with different functions such as a sculpting stage and an outdoor café. In response to the geographical conditions of the earthquake zone, the museum defies the conventional upright columns; all columns inside the museum are "tilted," and the spaces and curtain windows constructed from V-shaped steel frames also present a triangular form. The V-shaped steel frames support the protruding cantilevered space, forming a shaded area similar to a colonnade, which also serves as the entrance passage and a resting area facing the square. In this avant-garde and boldly challenging architecture, the exterior is understated, serene, and pure, while the interior is precise and tranquil. Tadao Ando is dedicated to allowing people, art, and nature to meet and engage in conversation here.
