Taichung Green Museumbrary – SANAA  | Arquitectura Viva

The Green Museumbrary in Taichung, Taiwan’s second largest city, has officially opened. Designed by the Japanese firm SANAA – Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa – in collaboration with the local firm Ricky Liu & associates, it puts two traditionally separated concepts – art museum and public library – in a single space, coining the term ‘museumbrary.’ The hybrid dilutes the boundaries between both worlds, creating an open environment where exhibitions and books coexist. Encompassing 58,000 square meters, this is SANAA’s biggest cultural project to date.
