Name of Project: New Taipei City Museum of Arts \”Green Cell\”
Location: New Taipei City, Taiwan
Joint participants: Masato Araya – OAK Structural Design Office, Atsuro Oka – P.T. Morimura & Associates, LTD.
Extension to city
We believe that this museum will not end in the mere exhibition of art. The CELL serve as a strategy to add more significance to the urban tissue, emerging as a new symbol. A pavilion in the park, shops, urban furniture and other public programs can be embraced by the pattern.

A center of Yingge
The main hall connects not only the museums but manages all the fluxes of the territory: train station, cable car, riverbank path, city and museum merge in this void, energizing the urban space.

Versatility
Steel mesh Green Cells besides structural elements, they also serve as a framework for the skin which accommodates greenery, soil, LED screens, ETFE and photovoltaic pannels.

In-between space
The use of a double layer skin creates an in-between space which increases the flexibility for exhibition, and addresses the specificities of the Taiwanese climate.
