The conceptual design of this proposal for the museum of the painter Xu Beihong aims to create a pure and resounding volume built through a complex, dynamic and nuanced skin.

The building shows a contrast between the pure geometry of the volume and the complexity of the steel façade, formed from angles and folds as if it had undergone a deformation that has flattened the façade.
