Sou Fujimoto said that ‘What I call architecture is closely related to nature. It is the foundation of architectural thinking. Architecture is originally a man-made object, so how to make it closer to nature is the subject we often think about.’ Contemporary art also has relationship with the nature. Fragmentation can very well fragment the building into a natural similar form.
According to Li He, famous professor in China, ‘Contemporary art is the sum of the characteristics of artistic phenomena and trends of thought in various regions within a period of time. Unlike postmodern art, it is not an art genre with a certain proposition, nor does it have an accurate time limit.’ Therefore, I set the theme of NGV-C as time and nature, which are displayed in the form of fragmentation.
NGV-C by fragmenting the top of the entire building and gradually disappearing, it reflects the rapid development of the modern art wave, and in the "hidden" part, through the cover of plants, people feel the endless art of art. This makes NGV-C not only a contemporary art showroom, but also a contemporary artwork.
