Methacrylate, glass and transparent acrylic materials are used to make three-dimensional models of the building, using a laser engraving technique.

The Xu Beihong Foundation Museum is conceived as a simple volume wrapped in a dynamic metal façade. Inside, a large atrium with zenithal light articulates the exhibition halls and serves as the building’s vertical communication core.
