Architecture Asia Special Issue - ARCASIA Awards for Architecture 2020

JURY CITATION
The project presents two useful perspectives from the architectural point of
view. The first is that in the process of renovating the existing coal unloading
dock into an art museum, it has revived the urban memories through minimal
touch. The second is the fact that it has reduced costs and established itself as
a sustainable building through research on the characteristic and space of the
contemporary art museum. Being a contemporary art museum, the building itself
also represents its contemporary aesthetic with its undecorated arches and
cantilevers made of concrete. The architecture itself becomes an art displayed
to the citizens. Although the indoor space may cause some difficulties for curators,
the project provides guidance on various projects that transform industrial
facilities into cultural facilities.
