Suzhou Museum of Contemporary Art

On the shores of Jinji Lake is the first completed art museum by the Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG). Opened on August 30th, the 60,000 sq m complex is a cluster of nine pavilions interspersed with courtyards. The roof structure is the standout here, with the sweeping roof lines of the connecting walkways adding a delicate, light, airy feel.

Towering over the museum is a massive ferris wheel, making the entire complex visible from above.
