The Wuxi Charity Museum, located in Dangkou Ancient Town, Wuxi City, is China's second charity-themed museum. Its design emphasizes the connection between "reverence" and "charity," respecting the town's history and preserving its appearance. The building height gradually reduces to maintain harmony with the ancient structures, integrating traditional and modern elements. Multi-directional folded roofs dissolve the building's volume, blending it into the town's texture, while the staggered UHPC components echo the historical "white walls and black tiles."
