这是由waa（未觉建筑事务所）设计的银川当代美术馆（MOCA）。通过对地貌学的研究，建筑师了解到美术馆所在地在汉代至清代曾是黄河流经所处。由于河水的冲刷，泥沙形成大量的固态沉积岩层：土壤表层的沉积岩层在千年的时间里逐渐移动、破裂，下层地质的岩石逐渐上升，在岩层不断挤压的过程中，河道逐渐迁移，原先的河床变成了如今的湿地。

美术馆外观的设计正是基于这千年间地貌的变化，以流动的皱褶肌理还原了千百年间塑造了如今地貌的沉积岩运动，同这片土地千年前的过往产生互动联系。美术馆的外观犹如一个“运动中”的地质断面，暗喻着这片土地千年间的变化，亦传达了这片土地的源头——黄河——丰富、多变的性格；而其流畅、优雅的线条，又给人以轻盈的印象，仿佛是“降落”在大地上，自成大地的景观。

这座建筑犹如化石般记录着时间。

MOCA Yinchuan is located at the border between lush wetlands and arid desert divided by the Yellow river. In an area with no apparent grounding for contemporary art culture to grow. It was chosen to embrace this site complexity and rich ecological history. Placing the importance of geological activity in our site narration enabled the formation of a site specific concept and identity.Frequent flooding over the last millennia can be observed through satellite imagery which alludes to the rivers ever changing, shifting location. Leaving the current vast wetlands, as the only remnants of this journey and inspiring the museums dialogue with the site.

The crafted m­useum’s massing responds to geological forces (uploading/Sediment erosion) visible in the sedimentary creases abundant on the facade. Visualising the creases and texture require explorations using parametric techniques at certain moments during the design process. These help implant the desired identity, a “fossil “documenting the traces of Time.

If the facade creases speak of documented time through material sedimentation. Emulating these natural landform processes frees a language intrinsically linked with ‘Place’while hinting of this ‘place’ as a Time in the past.GRC was an integral to developing a double curved surface. This building is comprised of over 1600 unique panels ranging from 40sqm to 8sqm. Re- awakening of the spirit of craftsmanship redundant in the age of automation.

Internal programmatic arrangement dictated the envelopes appearance; we hoped to engage in an open feel of participation for local visitors shortening the leap to art appreciation through educational leisure programs. Thus engaging the community and challenging them to observe in an open and optimistic environment. The linear route through gallery spaces helps direct the visitors gaze with a perception of climbing. Basement galleries are represented in darker and rougher materials, ascending the experience become whiter, brighter and more synthetic.

The museum imparts an ambition to age, dark to light / rough to smooth / rising and falling. These simple rhythms and tempos hope to focus the visitor to experience traces of Time with greater awareness.waa is founded by British Registered Architects Di Zhang (Bartlett/UCL), Partners include founding member Jack Young (2010) (Bartlett/UCL) and Ruben Bergambagt (2012) (Delft). The practice was set up following many years of experiences of the three partners working at international design firm Foster and Partners in London, gaining experience on many large scale projects most notably Masdar Development and Masdar Institute (UAE), Heathrow Airport Terminal Expansion and the Bloomberg European HQ (London).
