Snøhetta wins competition to design Hangzhou Qiantang Bay Art Museum
We are excited to announce that Snøhetta has won the competition to craft the centerpiece art museum for the Qiantang Bay Future Headquarters development in Hangzhou!
Inspired by the flowing forms and connective function of a bridge, Snøhetta’s design takes the form of two wave-like volumes. This dynamic configuration not only weaves together all circulation routes into a central node, but also establishes a vibrant public realm. The concept celebrates the site’s spectacular setting facing both the waterfront and urban skyline, while resonating with the notion of Time and its relationship with the Arts.
The Hangzhou Qiantang Art Museum is a spatial interpretation of Art and Cultural waves and movements, envisioning the institution as a gateway for imagination where nature and art converge.
