As the architects for the space renovation and exhibition design, DAS added moderate new space elements while preserving some traces of time from the original architecture to fulfill the demand of exhibition functions, which strengthens the contrast between the old and new, creates the tension of the space and atmosphere, and inspires the visitors to think about the mutual influence between the history and reality, tradition and contemporary, art and politics when viewing such an art exhibition with the depth of time.
