The SNUMoA was designed by Rem Koolhaas. The structure's exterior is made of U-glass which reveals the underlying structural steel framed trusses. The building is located on sloping site which the architect utilized in the final design. The museum is cantilevered on a concrete core, thus giving the appearance of lightness and floating in space.
The museum is divided into four basic program areas: Operations, Educational, Exhibition, and Library. The slope of the building benefits the auditorium which has ramped seating.
