Shigeru Ban – Aspen Art Museum
The Aspen Art Museum, designed by Shigeru Ban, captivates with its complex exterior façade, a lattice of natural timber panels that serves as a thermal envelope. Inspired by the concept of a thermal envelope, the design allows the interior areas to maintain a stable temperature through the circulation of air in the exterior spaces. This envelope not only regulates climate control but also interacts with light, filtering sunlight through the glass walls and skylight. Collaboration with Parklex Prodema was crucial, enabling the creation of a full-scale model that ensured precision in the final design.
