Our proposal try to design a very clear addition to the historical building which very respectful, finely adjusted, for all the specialist of strict conservation by nature non intrusive, reversible and legible.

The new wing is designed has a porous contemporary patio open on all sides to the city surroundings allowing pedestrian to flow from the new pedestrian Piazza in front of Han river to the existing library.

Architecturally, the design of the new wing is clearly reflecting contemporary approach of architecture and does not try to mimic the historical building fabric. It is design a porous patio of thin columns and screens creating filtered and a soft light in the museum space and a spectacular destination in the new pedestrian zone of then center of Danang.
