在原本一望無際的嘉南平原，本案在建築型式上採用一系列隆起的地殼形成本館的幾個屋頂，象徵故宮南院大規模開發的原動力。原本的草地被延伸到屋頂上，形成了供遊客步行的草坡步道，可讓遊客清楚地瞭望對面故宮南院預定地；另外，亦藉由此高低起伏的地殼(屋頂)定義出不同尺度的室內空間，並將未來館內各種不同的機能規劃在最適宜的空間尺度之中。

這些隆起地殼的側面由透明的玻璃帷幕牆組成，除了強化這個特殊的建築造型外，一方面爭取最大的採光機會，另一方面則讓視覺無限地延伸；置身於室內空間的遊客可於欣賞館內靜態展示的同時，遠望這一望無際的草地，同時也能看到正步行於草坡屋頂的遊客。

未來館內除了有世界各國成功博物館案例及興建中故宮南院圖說、模型展示外，亦可以直接步行於屋頂進一步了解故宮南院基地的發展，這兩種機能在空間上的結合，是有趣且跳脫一般展示空間制式的型態。即動態與靜態的展示行為在視線上相結合，願景與現實在空間上的對話。

A pre-exhibition building for the currently under-construction National Palace Museum’s South Branch functions as a visitor’s center along with providing space for promotional activities. Chung-yei Sheng uniquely designed this building to represent the landscape, aligning the building to run tangent with the natural unevenness of the ground. Sheng achieves this natural shape by “cutting” and “pulling” the original shape of the building material to parallel that of the landscape’s. The grass extends from the ground to the roof of the building, as if the building is one with the landscape, hidden underground. Visitors can view the Museum from the roof. This asymmetrical form creates an interior space with varying ceiling heights, allowing Sheng to make specifications for differing spaces according to their future spatial function.
