LKCNHM by Mok Wei Wei / W Architects


Architects: Mok Wei Wei / W Architects Location: Singapore Photographs: Teo Zi Tong Located within the cultural precinct of the National University of Singapore, the LKCNHM (Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum) is a new opening museum charactered by the dark beton-brut concrete facade and the angular slice in the building's facade recreates vegetated cliff conditions common on some Singapore's offshore islands. The architect conceived as a kind of allegory of a natural rock form, appearing as a naturally carved out rock formed geometry.
