Samsung Museum of Art

http://leeum.samsungfoundation.org/eng/architecture/building02.asp



















The Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art is situated on the Namsan Museum. The museum website describes the MUSEUM 2 building, designed by Jean Nouvel, as a building which 'integrates itself into the natural landscape while remaining an autonomous contemporary art object in its own right'. It responds to context without disappearing into the landscape. The colour of the facade subtly picks up the tones of the roof of the older building beyond. It will be interesting to see if the building works as well in reality as it appears to in this photograph.
