The site is located in the urban CBD area. Its north and east boundary face to a river that goes cross the whole  city. The local government makes endeavor  to build some public parks along the river to host the civic activities and creat nice landscape and views of the city. The south and west boundary is adjacent to the commercial area in which a large number of people stream is contented everyday.

The proposed museum is no longer just a enducational building or a display platform when it is seated in this context.  It is not only a part of the urban landscape or a complement  of the existing commercial function, but also a node of connection between commercial and landscape, a transit area of different lifestyle  and  a icon for itself.
