In collaboration with Jason Qian.
The ARTK is designed to be the cultural heart of Melbourne, this new cultural capital of the world. It is not only an art museum that contains artworks from all cultural backgrounds, but also a cultural hub for citizens of Melbourne to enjoy their civic life and socialise, a world class artwork repair and maintain centre, as well as a world leading art school that allow students to truly immerse themselves in the atmosphere created by the historical relics around them.
As time passed, the ARTK, along with Melbourne, would establish a reputation as the haven and sanctuary for artwork and artists. If world peace is not something we can easily help to achieve as architects, then we would have to settle on the second best and maintain a safe corner in the world that could save and archive the past of human culture and history for the future.
