The M+ building by Herzog & de Meuron redefines the concept of a museum. It is a multifaceted cultural center for art, design, architecture, and moving images from the 20th and 21st centuries. It is not just a traditional exhibition space. M+ integrates a variety of environments and functions. From the conventional white cube to projection rooms and reconfigurable spaces, M+ covers the full spectrum of museum experiences. The innovative “Industrial Space” reflects a post-industrial approach, transforming wastelands into a vibrant cultural hub.
The video complements this vision by showcasing the entire project process, from the client’s initial requirements to the final construction. Ceramics become a central element to materialize the building’s vision, symbolizing China’s rich tradition. The documentary details how these ceramic pieces were created and placed on the façade, giving M+ a unique texture and character. Ceramics not only connect the building with cultural heritage but also highlight innovation in design and construction, harmoniously blending the traditional with the contemporary.
