The Liangzhu Museum II is a continuation of the prestigious cultural institution’s journey from the Liangzhu Museum I to the Liangzhu Ancient City. Situated along the river, the linear site naturally informs the long linear architecture forming grand facade along the river bank.
Evidence of rice paddy agriculture is symbolic to the Liangzhu culture and is incorporated into the architectural design as the form of the main columns supporting the large roof that unifies the whole museum underneath. The columns made of laminated bamboo are golden in color and they grow along the entire length of the museum to create the image of a rice field at times of harvest.
