INTRODUCTION
This project is a functional enhancement and improvement to an ancient building in the Wuhou Shrine Museum of Chengdu. We retain the original traditional structure and organize an ambulatory. Glass walls increase the space’s transparency. The traditional quadrangle is redefined to accommodate new diverse events such as exhibitions, lectures, and teahouses. This academy will be a cultural landmark in the museum in the future.
