Dapeng Geology Museum and Research Center: Leemundwiler Architects

The Dapeng Geology Museum and Research Center in Shenzhen, China has an unusual form that resembles a large rock formation rather than a traditional building. Its long, narrow zigzag approach is meant to evoke the narrow, worn stone streets of nearby old villages. The textured, staggered openings on the stone-clad facade allow for varied lighting inside the museum, with darker and sunlit interior areas alternating as needed for different exhibits.
