The New Capital Museum is a remarkable building of Changan Street. A simple rectangular plan is well responding to the urban structure of the Beijing, and the traditional materials of the building with bronze, wood, and brick are deriving from the tradition of Beijing. An open atmosphere and a bright interior environment are introduced instead of the depressive looks of the traditional museums. Many new techniques are used in the building, including the roof solar panel, siphon drainage system, concrete filled steel tube, metal false ceiling and the advanced intelligent building system.
