Tang Museum

Both sculpture and architecture experience the same design process, the manipulation of three-dimensional space. Throughout the years sculpture went from being associated with monuments and places to isolated and abstract. Another boundary of architecture is landscape. Over many years landscape has become a territory that separated sculpture from architecture. By using the study of sculpture we can start to analyze the fluidity of all three practices, sculpture, landscape, and architecture. In this project, the art of sculpture was experimented at various scales. The relationship between sculpture, landscape, and architecture was developed through a series of iterations. By replicating the ceramic work of the artist Takuto Kuwata, displacement maps were created. By using the art of sculpture it enabled a continuity between landscape and architecture. The Tang Museum serves as a walkthrough experience of a collection of storage artwork of sculptures and other mediums for students at Skidmore college in New York. The Tang Museum integrates a part of the campus that has not been explored by allowing students to connect to nature and art like the architecture is a connection between landscape and the sculpture of the building.
