Approach

Hokusai's wave is distilled into one repeatable curve that can hold a whole institution. The painting is not copied; its movement is.

Application

Beyond the gallery walls, the curve becomes a wayfinding gesture and a frame for information. The museum carries the rhythm of the sea into every surface it touches.
