The Nanjing Sifang Art Museum First museum designed by Steven Holl Architects is located in China.  Over the past few months WAN has covered a plethora of concept designs in the Tier Two city of Nanjing in China, including Populous’ masterplan for the 2014 Youth Olympic Games, the Nanjing City Concept by CK Designworks and BDP’s Nanjing Medical University. The capital of Jiangsu Province is a thriving hub of energy and excitement for designers worldwide, and possesses the potential to become the next Beijing or Shanghai.
