Atelier YokYok：软圆顶是新加坡国家博物馆的一个装置设计。2017年6月和7月，在博物馆圆形大厅围绕着主题: “连接”，举办了儿童季。

Atelier YokYok：The Soft Dome is an installation designed for the National Museum of Singapore. It takes place in the Rotunda space of the Museum, for the Children’s Season around the theme «connections» during June and July 2017.

设计的目的是将成年人和儿童与他们周围的建筑联系起来。设计师希望参观者能够在这里感受到博物馆的文化遗产氛围，在一个倒置的圆顶里——一个沉浸式的半球装置，就像他们头顶上圆顶的镜子。设计师建议用一种当代的方式来改变这个地方的建筑规范。

The aim is to connect adults and children to the buildings around them. We hope that visitors feel the museum’s cultural heritage through building codes, in an inverted dome – an immersive, hemisphere device, like a mirror of the dome above them. We suggest changing the building codes of this place in a contemporary way.

首先，一个人走进这个空间，看到一个奇怪的突起物充满了整个圆形大厅，然后再在好奇心的驱使下转过身来，他可以找到一个入口，可以欣赏到整个自由的垂直空间。从入口进入后，人对圆形大厅的形状认知感和其纪念感就增加了。如果人们在这里感到舒适，那么他就可以欣赏到美丽的风景，创造有趣的回忆。

First, one comes into the space and see that a strange protrusion is filling the whole Rotunda, almost oppresive… if it were not transparent!
After turning around it guided by curiosity, he can find an entry and finally appreciate the entirety of the free vertical space. Once inside, his feeling of the circularity and monumentality of the Rotunda is increased… Now that he feels confortable, he can enjoy the view and a playful experience to remember…
