Appreciation towards Kengo Kuma and Associates for providing the following description:

由隈研吾建筑都市设计事务所（KKAA）设计的UCCA陶美术馆，旨在展示宜兴的陶瓷文化。宜兴被誉为“陶都”，以紫砂陶的制作而闻名。项目所在场地曾是宜兴陶瓷文化的中心，聚集了众多陶瓷工厂和作坊。该项目与重新开发该地区的总体规划相契合，旨在打造一个以陶瓷为主题的文化中心，融合了作坊和工作室，同时保留已停用工厂的遗迹。

We designed an art museum to showcase the ceramic culture in Yixing, known as the “ceramic capital” and renowned for its production of pottery using purple clay. The site was once the center of Yixing’s ceramic culture, with its numerous pottery factories and ateliers. This project aligns with the masterplan to redevelop the area and envisions a cultural center for ceramics, incorporating ateliers and workshops while preserving the remnants of decommissioned factories.

建筑体量仿若陶山，设计灵感来源于项目附近的蜀山，蜀山深受北宋作家苏东坡的喜爱，同时设计也借鉴了已有600年历史的爬坡窑炉 —— 龙窑。山状的体量设有一系列开口，以连接陶瓷工厂和运河，将建筑与场地轴线以及周围的工厂群无缝融合。屋顶采用了倒置壳体结构，由虚拟球体塑造而成，并通过四层木质格栅梁支撑。这种轻巧而坚固的木结构为室内空间带来了动态变化，引导视线和流线深入建筑内部。

The volume resembling a mountain of pottery is inspired by Shushan Mountain, located near the project site and cherished by the Northern Song dynasty writer Su Dongpo, as well as by the dragon kiln, a climbing kiln that has been in continuous use for 600 years. The mountain-shaped volume was punctured to connect with the pottery factory and the canal, seamlessly integrating the building with the site’s axis and the surrounding factory complex. The roof, an inverted shell structure carved by virtual spheres, is supported by four layers of wooden lattice beams. This light yet strong wooden structure brings dynamic changes to the interior space and draws the line of sight and circulation flow deeper into the building.

外立面反应了陶器在制造中的“温度”对色彩的影响，与当地工匠合作打造而成。其不规则的表面上釉色彩层次丰富，随时间和季节的变化展现出不同视觉效果。温暖且略微粗糙的触感如同中国茶具一般，这些陶瓷面板承载着这座陶瓷之城千年的历史与文化。

The facade, which evokes the “temperature” of pottery in the manufactory, was developed in collaboration with local artisans. Its uneven surface is glazed with varying color gradations, creating different expressions depending on the time of day and season. Warm and slightly coarse to the touch like Chinese tea-ware, these ceramic panels embody the history and culture of the ceramic city, which has been passed down through the generations for more than 1,000 years.
