“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.
Evidence of rice paddy agriculture is symbolic to the Liangzhu culture and is incorporated into the architectural design in the form of the main columns supporting the large roof that unifies the whole museum below. Made of laminated bamboo, the columns are golden in color, growing along the entire length of the museum to create the image of a rice field at harvest time.
