This thesis is a study of creating the first-ever camera museum by using unique building forms and structural elements, as well as water and light features. Additionally, throughout this thesis project, I would like to celebrate the Canon franchise with all the camera enthusiasts and express my personal appreciation to Canon camera who has always been a companion in my entire architecture journey.
The building site, shape and location allow a discovery of the building elements and shape consequently while participating in the building visit. From far beyond, the building can be seen as a simple sculpture piece as an iconic gateway of this Canon Park. While approaching and pursuing the passage into the museum, building shape and components start to build the experience more than just a museum. Different lighting conditions, vertical and horizontal circulation methods, building form and structure are used to direct not only the journey of Canon camera, but also an experiment of my own architectural language. / Master of Architecture
