Chau Chak Wing Museum

Chau Chak Wing Museum by JPW stands as an inviting but striking addition to Sydney's public buildings. Its weathered concrete facade, designed to gracefully weather the elements, showcases a balanced and solid architectural composition.

As I framed the Chau Chak Wing Museum through my camera, I was struck by the presence of a substantial off-form concrete box. It's expertly bolstered by these large, precast concrete blocks in a welcoming sandstone shade. This composition invites an engaging spatial experience. At the entry, there's a sense of compression that soon gives way to a central, sky-lit atrium, seamlessly connecting all the public levels I had the privilege to capture.

In my role as an architectural photographer, I've had the privilege of witnessing the transformation brought about by the Chau Chak Wing Museum. This remarkable institution marks the first occasion when the University has united its foremost cultural, scientific, and artistic collections. It has evolved into a dynamic public museum and educational space, drastically improving access to these invaluable resources.
