Introduction to the Museum's Architecture: The architecture of the Ceramics Museum features a gray exterior presented with fair-faced concrete and steel frames. The high ceilings, simple color design, and large glass curtain walls allow natural light to stream in, creating various effects of light transmission in the continuous, richly layered spaces composed of fair-faced concrete, washed stone walls, gray stone, and brownish-red wood. This allows the indoor ceramic exhibits to display a rich texture and appearance with the changing sunlight. After ascending the layers of stone steps at the entrance of the Ceramics Museum, visitors can see the sound and visual effects created by a large water wall and pool, which helps to calm the mind and transform emotions.
