A Museum in the city of Ningbo, China picked up pieces from it's surroundings for an inspirational design.
In 2008, a 33 km bridge was opened to allow travelling between Shanghai and the city of Ningbo in less than two hours. This has rejuvenated the local economy as property prices have since risen dramatically. Sitting on a massive unpopulated plaza in Yinzhou, a district in the city of Ningbo; the Ningbo Historic Museum, a three-story, 30'000-square-metre block positioned on the plaza's northwestern edge.
On approach, its form looks strange. The box-like faade houses materials that appear to be inconsistent and ill-fitting. Upon closer inspection, the walls reveal the presence of over 20 different types of recycled tiles and bricks collected from destruction sites around the region. The small windows reveal little of the content of the Museum. The architect, Wang Shu of Amateur Architecture Studio, responsible for the Museum stated that he interpreted the idea of the mountain by widening the range of entrances and treating the space inside as if it were a kind of maze.
From Wang Shu, "When I designed this, I was thinking of mountains. I couldn't design something for the city, because here is no city here yet, so I wanted to do something that had life. Finally I decided to design a mountain."
The Ningbo Historic Museum looks like it's been there forever, fitting into the surroundings. At the same time it stands out in the surrounding environment carrying a very contemporary look.
Amazing to find a local China architect that really thinks and works on brave innovative concepts. brillant idea. This should be a proud showcase to the world of great CHINA architecture by the Chinese and not another foriegn top architect.... 5 stars to Wang Shu. Wish I could work on projects with him in the future. Maybe he might be the next Tadao Ando of China.
With all the demolition that is going on in this country, using recycled building materials not only links it to contemporary Chinese culture, - it also relates to the idea of archaeology and preservation. Brilliant!!
I have to say something about myself. Sometimes it is hard to introduce yourself because you know yourself so well that you do not know where to start with. Let me give a try to see what kind of image you have about me through my self-description. I hope that my impression about myself and your impression about me are not so different. Here it goes. I am a person who is positive about every aspect of life. There are many things I like to do, to see, and to experience. I like to read, I like to write; I like to think, I like to dream; I like to talk, I like to listen. I like to see the sunrise in the morning, I like to see the moonlight at night; I like to feel the music flowing on my face, I like to smell the wind coming from the ocean. I like to look at the clouds in the sky with a blank mind, I like to do thought experiment when I cannot sleep in the middle of the night. I like flowers in spring, rain in summer, leaves in autumn, and snow in winter. I like to sleep early, I like to get up late; I like to be alone, I like to be surrounded by people. I like country’s peace, I like metropolis’ noise; I like the beautiful west lake in Hangzhou, I like the flat cornfield in Champaign. I like delicious food and comfortable shoes; I like good books and romantic movies. I like the land and the nature, I like people. And, I like to laugh. I always wanted to be a great writer, like Victor Hugo who wrote "Les Miserable", or like Roman Roland who wrote "John Christopher". They have influenced millions of people through their books. I also wanted to be a great psychologist, like William James or Sigmund Freud, who could read people’s mind. Of course, I am nowhere close to these people, yet. I am just someone who does his thing his own way,But my dream is still alive.I believe that if your not busy living then you are busy not living. NB:Not interested in cam or hookups. I am real, you be real, too.
