"SANAA, led by architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, has unveiled its design for the Taichung Art Museum in central Taiwan. The new institution is scheduled to open on December 13, 2025, as part of the Taichung Green Museumbrary project, developed in collaboration with local firm Ricky Liu & Associates. Conceived as a major cultural initiative, the project combines a contemporary art museum, library resources, and public parkland."
"The design includes approximately 40,000 square feet of indoor galleries and a range of outdoor exhibition areas, including sky bridges and a roof-level cultural forest. These spaces will allow the museum to display both its permanent collection of postwar and contemporary Taiwanese art and temporary international exhibitions. A central atrium, built with a lightweight mesh structure, brings natural light into the interior and connects the different levels of galleries through an upward spiral ramp, emphasizing accessibility and visual continuity across the building."
SANAA, led by architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, designed the Taichung Art Museum, scheduled to open December 13, 2025, as part of the Taichung Green Museumbrary developed with Ricky Liu & Associates. The project integrates a contemporary art museum, public library resources, and parkland on the Shuinan Trade and Economic Park, the former military airfield adjacent to the 67-hectare Central Park. The facility blurs museum and library boundaries to encourage reading, exhibiting, and cultural activities to coexist. The complex includes about 40,000 square feet of indoor galleries, outdoor exhibition spaces, sky bridges, a roof-level cultural forest, and a central atrium with a lightweight mesh structure and an upward spiral ramp. The design emphasizes transparency, flow, accessibility, and positions Taichung as an international cultural hub while supporting educational and public programming.
