The National Art Museum of China has been proposed by Jean Nouvel, with designs that are distinct and memorable.
DesignBoom states that "across its 30,000 square meter footprint, the museum houses a range of permanent and temporary galleries, research and education centers and an auditorium." The look of the museum is intriguing because it's slightly raised above the ground. Moreover, the building is located nearby to the Forbidden City in Beijing, and houses a range of materials that were once kept and used within this historic section of the city. The museum has different halls dedicated to the various seasons, with the autumn hall taking on an array of colors, and the summer hall exuding a more bronzed look.

3. Historical Materials - Using materials that are no longer in common use can create stunning designs that showcase a sense of history and context.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - Architects can embrace new and creative ways of designing structures, utilizing elevation and historical materials when possible.
2. Museums - Museums can take cues from the seasonal museums designs, considering how to create immersive and interactive experiences for visitors.
3. Heritage Preservation - There is an opportunity for heritage preservation industries to contribute materials and techniques to make buildings that are more reflective of the surrounding context and history.
