AE Interests: Art museum designed to showcase the ceramic culture in Yixing, known for its production of pottery with purple clay. It resembles a mountain of clay and sits in what was once the center of Yixing’s ceramic culture. The roof is carved out by virtual spheres and supported by 4 layers of wooden lattice beams. These beams draw your line of sight and circulation, bringing you further into the building. The facade is glazed with varying color gradations, which create different expressions depending on the time of day and season.
