How an Award-Winning Museum Lets the Light In<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

2023 Best of Year Winner for International Museum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What’s the crowning glory of an innovative, mixed-use addition for the Qujiang Museum of Fine Arts in Xi\u2019an, China, housing retail, hospitality, and events programming? A lanternlike structure anchoring the east entry. Clad in red travertine slabs, the cylindrical edifice by Neri&Hu Design and Research Office<\/a> features evenly spaced portals that usher daylight down into the walkway wrapping the cylinder\u2019s base, while, up top, a hollowed-out, bowl-shape amphitheater with stepped seating encircles a lightwell that descends straight through the core. It\u2019s a new community beacon\u2014and another home run from the firm led by Interior Design<\/em> Hall of Fame members Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
