The Asian Cultural Museum is a model of a museum that centers East Asian aesthetics. The museum borrows the roof structures of East Asia where the roofs are shaped like a curve for easy flow of water during monsoon seasons. Also, the load-bearing columns resemble the structural reinforcements homes in areas that are prone to environmental disasters must adopt. I reinterpreted the traditional form of structures through a simplified and contemporary design that shows clean lines and minimal structure.
