Adhering to the principles of Feng Shui, the building positions the staircase as the illuminated center, even when closed, with the Eight Trigrams of Feng Shui revolving around it. Chinese numerology and the concept of perfection are reflected in a grid system, where each floor plan and facade measure 9 x 9 meters. The aim was to integrate the principles of Feng Shui with Le Corbusier’s Modulors, resulting in a synthesis of both sets of rules. The proportions created in this manner contribute to the museum’s harmonious overall effect, striving to unify cultures.
