‘Tactical translucency’ is a distinct characteristic of the work of SANAA's Kazuyo Sejima + Ryue Nishizawa . In the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, it was applied as a strategy in which to blur the boundaries between the city and the interior space of the art museum, creating a type that fuses areas for public activities and the more contemplative gallery spaces.
