This building, which was designed by Paul Andreu, is located in the city of Taiyuan. It have five oblique volumes and they are made with glass paneling. Again, this is one of his works that are different from his “signature” buildings, which contains domes and is located int he midst or close to some body of water. It is museum that can be spotted from a distance and is also one of the cities tourists main attractions. I like the extravagant colors of the building instead of the typical stone colors. He incorporated interesting shapes , which is a major deviation from the norm. All in all, I believe that he is a diverse architect that is entrusted with many buildings in many different cities such as China, France and Japan.
