Three Museums One Square

2013

The Three Museums One Square project in Guangzhou creates a cultural hub that reflects the city’s heritage and innovation within a park-like setting. Strategically located, the site integrates Lingnan cultural elements with modern urban functions. The design organises the area into user-friendly zones, connecting activities through multiple pathways and incorporating sunken courtyards inspired by Lingnan architecture’s figure-ground concept.
