Slated to complete in 2009, the Waterflux Art Museum by R&Sie architecture is a unique amalgamation of the organic form with latest construction technologies. The basic structure of the museum is designed to support the surrounding landscape, giving it a natural but inimitable look. Located in the Swiss Alps, the art museum will also house the Research Station for Alpine Ice. Digitalizing the traditional habitat, a computer numerical control drilling machine will carve 180 pieces out of 2,000 cubic meters of wood to erect the structure of the museum. The new structure will not just help in analyzing the topography and reactivating the local economy, but it’ll be an architectural marvel in the region too.
