Introduction to the building of this museum: The architectural form of the Ceramics Museum is a gray exterior presented by fair-faced concrete and steel frames. The high-rise and plain-colored design of the space, as well as a large area of glass curtains, allow the natural light from outside to show the various effects of light transmission in the continuous and layered space composed of fair-faced concrete, washed stone walls, gray stone, and brown wood, so that the indoor ceramic exhibits show rich texture and appearance as the sunlight changes.
