About Suzhou Museum
A design system drawn from I. M. Pei's Suzhou Museum, where the white plaster wall and dark roof of the Jiangnan town become pure geometry. The page is sunlit lime plaster. China Black granite caps every field, outlines every opening and folds the roofline into diamonds.
It works as a plan of walled courts rather than one open canvas. Each card is a white room under a dark cap rule, each button an outlined opening, and the empty wall carries the composition. Rooms are entered off-axis, never straight down a monumental center line.
