Ordos Museum, China
View Original Description
The Ordos Museum, designed by MAD architects is located in the city of Ordos, in the Gobi desert in China. The structure is wrapped in polished metal louvers shaped like a large undulating blob. The polished metal tiles are resistant to frequently occurring sandstorms.
Galleries inside the museum are housed in smaller blobs, connected by bridges all opening onto the shared public space that runs through the museum.
The roof draws in light which is then channeled through the building by the luminescent walls, whilst the louvers allow for natural ventilation.
