07 MUSEUM AS THE URBAN STAGE

SHENZHEN NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM COMPETITION

JULY 2020| INTERNSHIP WORK | GROUP WORK DESIGN SCHEME| SPATIAL DESIGN| FACADE PARAMETRIC DESIGN COMPANY: TRACE ARCHITECTURE www.t-a-o.cn

The site is close to the city, facing the nature, with a wide field of view around, pingshan Lake, Yanziling, Pingshan River, wetland, forest fields and other characteristic natural ecological elements in a panoramic view. The location is superior and the traffic is convenient.

The design started from thinking about how to balance the surrounding ecological environment and the densely developed city, providing a public cultural platform that encourages knowledge sharing, scientific studies, interactive experiences and ecological conservation. Different from traditional museums, we foresee the Museum of Nature not as an isolated architecture but a globalized, interactive and diversified public space that opens all-day, maximizing spacing flexibility and transparency. Inspired by the natural phenomenon of geological strata displacement, through the act of twisting, the stacked volumes create a series of open spaces with different scale and types, connecting with the surrounding environment.
