Architectural Presentation
01.Wuhan Map Projected
The similaraty of Wuhan and the UK is that they are both the birthplce of Industrial Revolution in their region, the pioneer of discovering new things. So I want to build a milestone to memorize the harmonious past of Wuhan. However, it should not only be a statue, but also a building in whose activities the whole community can be involved. So the museum is open, serving citizens also. What’s more, some common problems confronted by all museums, like wasty storage, complex cerculation, would be solved.

Wuhan Map
Project Wuhan map on the box the get the outframe of Wuhan City. For the reason that the map does not fit the massing perfectly, it has to be dragged and pull to fit in the shape of the box. Unitize the map by 1.5m*1.5m cube so it basically keep the shape of the original map.

Push in the map part on the box from both sides of it according to functions and the need to create different levels of publiuc space. Also, to attract more sunlight in. Then the box becomes one that sunlight can go through, so as citizens from neighbourhood and visitors. Also, one can get into the main building whichever public space he or she is on.

Add structure to the box. In order to make the holed shape come true, steel-cubemade frames will be put in, for supporting the whole building, for decoration also. Some of them are exposed some are hidden from outside. Each cube is 1.5m*1.5m*2.0m.
