Facts and figures

100+

The materials selected for the Chungnam Art Museum are set to last for over 100 years.

Our proposed facade design uses modulated UHPFRC (Ultra-High-Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete) panels that are lightweight and super thin, which reduces the use of sub-structural frames.

Art has the power to bring people together. It inspires, it teaches and it fosters communities. The Chungnam Art Museum will be a place for people to experience this…and much more.
