Hangzhou Empathy Museum is a community art museum in Hangzhou, China, created from an unfinished project that included a completed underground garage. The design converts part of the basement into galleries and wraps the above ground structure in curved stainless steel panels, forming a reflective urban shell. With a dramatic three storey spatial canyon, perforated facades and integrated underground exhibition halls, the museum redefines adaptive reuse and positions art as part of everyday city life.
