We have mentioned earlier about the Lucky Knot, pedestrian bridge in China, which was built by nextarchitect.
Here we guide you to discover another commendable rose museum, which was also designed by nextarchitect team.
According to John van de Water, partner at NEXT architects said that the main challenge with the Rose Museum was to find a modern Chinese identity for a building which significance is so deeply rooted into Chinese culture.
Roses and floriculture are deeply rooted in Chinese Culture, dating back at least to the 11th century B.C. To showcase this history and the rose culture in general, NEXT architects designed a large-scale, new museum building. The museum is covered by a soft, stainless steel façade of 300-meter-long, 17-meter-high that is perforated by a rose-shaped pattern.
“The Rose Museum aims to create a new architecture for China, in which history and modernity, art and architecture blend,” explains NEXT architects China partner Jiang Xiaofei.
It was officially opened to public on May 23, 2016, on the same day as the start of the 2016 World Federation of Rose Societies Convention.
