the significantly muslim area of yunnan is home to micro-village of galleries that display the area’s tradition of papercraft. the tectonic
palette reflects the crafts displayed within, opting for local timber and bamboo cladding. low-energy decomposable materials visually
connect the museum to the landscape while interiors extend lines of sight into the greenery. offices, tea rooms and guest rooms are
clustered upstairs, leaving the remaining spaces to formally express local culture.
