מוזיאון האמנות Qintai ממוקם על שפת האגם של אגם הירח ברובע Hanyang של ווהאן, מול גבעת מייזי מעבר לאגם מדרום. על מנת להפחית את משקל המסה האדריכלית על פני האגם הטבעי, נעשה שימוש בצורת שטח טבעי גלי לכיוון האגם, תוך שקיעת חלק מחללי התצוגה מתחת לאדמה. תהליך זה גם משתמש בחלל התת-קרקעי וגם ממזער את ההסתה על הקרקע. בצד הפונה לכביש העירוני, לעומת זאת, חזית אנכית ממשיכה לעמוד
ומייצגת את האורבניות של האדריכלות.

The undulating roof is formed by an abstract stepped terrace following topographic contours. The risers of the steps are lined using silver brazen surface, while the treads are covered with white stones and low vegetation, traversed by winding planked walking paths. These rooftop paths are entirely open to the public, connecting to the Moon Lake, as well as the exits of the museum exhibition spaces, the space for public education, the art shop, the café, and the other public spaces. Thus, they form a public space framework independent from the exhibition spaces of the museum. The activities of the public are part of the architectural surface.

The art museum architecture as intervention has redefined the urban space on the south bank of Moon Lake. To the west of the museum the space is reserved for an urban plaza, interacting in the future with the Wuhan Library and Drama Centre under planning. The main entrance to the museum, as well as the programs with strong public tenets including the Creative Cultural Spaces, are all placed on this side, where a subtly inwardly-curved façade together with the place create a sense of enclosure. From the plaza there are ramped paths linking to the second floor café and rooftop terrace, establishing a public circulation that could still operate after the museum closes. Operationally, this strengthens the openness of the museum and the urbanity of the architecture.

The main hall, together with the undulating roofscape, creates a unique space for exhibition. The space of the exhibition uses floating exhibition walls, and there is no longer a set circulation for visiting the exhibition. The walls are both surfaces for exhibiting, as well as the structure for the undulating roof. The exhibition spaces for contemporary art, modern art, classical art, as well as for special exhibitions, could be independently accessed, or sequentially linked, having great functional flexibility.
