ARCHITECTURE / MUSEUM
Co-designed by architects Joe Shih and Pritzker Architecture Prize laureate Shigeru Ban, Tainan Art Museum Building 2 stands as a distinctive cultural landmark in Tainan. The design draws inspiration from the flamboyant Delonix regia, with its striking pentagonal form that reflects the essence of the city. The building’s layered exhibition spaces and the expansive fractal roof are among its most defining features, seamlessly blending modern aesthetics with local cultural elements.
台南美術館二號館由建築師石昭永與普立茲克建築獎得主坂茂共同設計，是台南獨特的文化地標。設計從華麗的鳳凰木中汲取靈感，其引人注目的五邊形造型反映了城市的精髓。建築的分層展覽空間和廣闊的分形屋頂是其最具特色的特徵，將現代美學與當地文化元素無縫融合。

The large pentagonal fractal canopy, crafted with a geometric structure, creates beautiful light and shadow patterns that resemble sunlight filtering through leaves.
“Shadow In Motion” Designed by 原研哉. This art installation consists of three rows of thin aluminum panels, each slowly rotating while continuously aligned. Its unique design turns each panel into an optical device that adjusts the direction and intensity of light reflection.
