Located in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/architecture-in-taiwan\/\">Taiwan\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> second-largest city, the project integrates the city\u2019s central <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/library-architecture-and-design\/\">library<\/a><\/strong> with a metropolitan art <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/museums-galleries\/\">museum<\/a><\/strong>, establishing a combined cultural facility that presents a new institutional model.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Taichung Green Museumbrary sits on the northern edge of Central Park, a 67-hectare green space within the 254-hectare Shuinan Trade and Economic Park, formerly a military airport decommissioned in 2004. Positioned at the heart of this redevelopment area, the project has been described as Taiwan\u2019s most significant cultural initiative of 2025. SANAA\u2019s design follows the guiding idea of creating \u2018a library in a park and an art museum in a forest.\u2019 The building is lifted above ground level, allowing natural light and park breezes to move freely through shaded plazas that provide open, permeable access from all sides.<\/p>\n<p>all images by <a href=\"https:\/\/yhlaa.art\/\">YHLAA \u2013 Yi Hsien Lee<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">An Open Plan Connecting Culture and Nature<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The plan dissolves traditional divisions between museum and library spaces within an open and inclusive interior. Reading areas and exhibition zones are designed to overlap, encouraging cross-programming and interaction. The library will house over one million physical and digital resources. On the rooftop, the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sanaa.co.jp\/\">design team<\/a><\/strong> at SANAA organizes an outdoor garden that offers views of Central Park and the Taichung skyline. Conceived as both a public landscape and a cultural extension of the building, the rooftop enhances the continuity between built and natural environments.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The dual-layer facade combines high-performance glass or metal cladding with an outer layer of aluminum expanded metal mesh. This silvery veil produces a sense of transparency while improving environmental performance. The facade and lifted volume emphasize lightness, openness, and integration with the surrounding park. At ground level, shaded plazas act as public thresholds where the city meets the museum and library.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>SANAA unveils the Taichung Art Museum as part of the Green Museumbrary<\/p>\n<p>the dual-layer facade combines glass or metal cladding with expanded aluminum mesh<\/p>\n<p>the mesh screen improves environmental performance while shaping the building\u2019s identity<\/p>\n<p>the outdoor garden functions as both a public space and cultural extension<\/p>\n<p>the cultural complex combines a metropolitan art museum with the city\u2019s central library<\/p>\n<p>the building volume is lifted above the ground to allow light and breeze to pass through<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the silvery outer veil produces a sense of transparency and lightness<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>reading areas and exhibition zones are arranged to overlap and encourage interaction<\/p>\n<p>the library is planned to hold over one million physical and digital resources<\/p>\n<p>shaded plazas beneath the structure create open and permeable public access<\/p>\n<p>the design concept is described as \u2018a library in a park and an art museum in a forest\u2019<\/p>\n<p>at ground level, shaded plazas act as thresholds between the city and the museum<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the lifted structure emphasizes openness and connection to the surrounding park<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong>\u00a0Taichung Art Museum<\/p>\n<p><strong>architect:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sanaa.co.jp\/\">SANAA<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sanaa_jimusho\/?hl=en\">@sanaa_jimusho<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>location:<\/strong> Taichung, Taiwan<\/p>\n<p><strong>photographer:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/yhlaa.art\/\">YHLAA \u2013 Yi Hsien Lee<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nevermind1107\/\">@nevermind1107<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>retoucher:<\/strong> YHLAA \u2013 Kane Liou<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\">DIY submissions<\/a>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>edited by: christina vergopoulou | designboom<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/sanaa-taichung-art-museum-taiwan-translucent-dual-layer-metal-facade-09-23-2025\/\">SANAA unveils taichung art museum in taiwan with translucent dual-layer metal facade<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First look at Taichung Art Museum by SANAA \u00a0 SANAA unveils Taichung Art Museum, part of the newly completed Taichung Green Museumbrary, set to open on December 13th, 2025.
