On a quiet beach along the coast of northern China\u2019s Bohai Bay, the UCCA Dune Art Museum<\/strong> is carved into the sand, where it gently disappears. Countless years of wind have pushed the beach\u2019s sand into a dune along the shore several meters high, stabilized by low-rising shrubs and other ground cover. The museum lies beneath this dune. Enveloped by sand, its interconnected, organically shaped spaces resemble caves – the primeval home of man, whose walls were once a canvas for some of humanity\u2019s earliest works of art. Hidden between the sea and the sand, the design of the Dune Art Museum is simple, pure, and touching – a return to primal and timeless forms of space.<\/p>
