For my new building I combined the original building-New Museum of Contemporary Art with the new building-Christian Dior Building . For the build style of the architect Sejima Kazuyo which I choosed, after researching much information about her building. I found Sejima’s work is concentrate to consider how to put the function space in the surrounding environment, and try to create a kind of open space. And this kind of space has a great inclusiveness and adaptive, this design makes space could satisfy the requirement of full function and doesn’t lose the enjoyment and richness at the same time. She often uses transparent material to construct some interleaved space, and liberating people from the customary experience and perspective of the architectural space. She often uses the aluminum board stainless steel plate and the glass. She has her specifi characteristics in using the glass. She often uses transparent, frosted especially the filmed glass. All of these could give a unfamiliar and visional feel to people when they look outside.

And for my building, I combined the lighting with the pure shape as my concept to finished my new building.

The window is the eyes of building, and is the communicate channels between the building and the natural environment outside. The prime function of the window is lighting. Choosing the suitable window for the building, it not only could sunshading but also could improve the interior light environment.

The natural light environment is a long habit of human and working environment. People live in the natural light environment can feel the change of natural light and movement of sun, and can promote people physical and mental health of human. But untreated natural light may also make the inside environmental degradation.

For new building I cut the original building from 7 floors to 4 floors. As the same time I change the uneven level to the tidy structure. But the length of each layer is keep the original data. In order to meet the requirements of the light. For the extra part which can receive the sun in each layer’s roof. I built a layer of glass. This layer of glass can make the sunlight shine into every layer and let visitors can bathe in the sunshine in each floors. For the greatest characteristic of the whole building . In each layer of the building, I built a hole in the roof and the floor. And build a window in the top level’s roof. There will be a natural column after the sunlight get through the window and the holes in every levels. In the end , I had build a spiral stair in the middle of the column , the spiral stair could help people to see the sky in every layers with one look. And finished the circulation of whole building.

As a museum, it should give a closed but a free environment. So I do not add window in every levels, and the quantity of windows is quite small. This design could pay more attention to appreciate the work of art. As the same time, it doesn’t have any column inside and out. And this openended design could make the curator have a flexible space to exhibit the work of art.
