UCCA Center for Contemporary Art

Exterior view of the UCCA Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing, showcasing its dramatic architectural design through a glass facade. A large red diagonal staircase with geometric white neon lighting dominates the scene, creating a striking contrast against the industrial interior. The interior space reveals tiled flooring, white brick walls, and a reception area with visitors engaging inside. A partial map artwork is visible in the background. The design, by OMA, emphasizes bold lines, transparency, and a blend of modern and raw textures.
