'I wanted to present the building as a new landscape, embedding it into the Chinese environment to create the experience of walking through the lake - similarly to walking on the beach, where people can feel the essence of water,' the architect tells designboom.
Set in the new development zone of Rizhao in the Province of Shandong, the Zaishui Art Museum by Junya Ishigami houses a flexible exhibition space - currently displaying chocolate and related artworks - jointly with a visitor and shopping center. As the architect explains during our talk, people would need to pass through the 20,000 square-meter building to get to the new development, 'all while enjoying the sceneries of the existing site, the art pieces, and displayed food'.
