For the 924-square-meter contemporary gallery, an existing structure was renovated. A similar transformation occurs on its south facade. This entire side is composed of six sets of translucent fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) shutters that look like shoji screens when closed. The panels slide outward, creating a 5-meter-deep awning, and the interior gallery extends outside and reconnects with the surrounding landscape.
