About Pugongshan Geology Tsev Cia Puav Pheej

Lub Pugong Roob Geological Tsev khaws puav pheej koom ua ke cov qub thiab tshiab gypsum kilns, thiab siv cov qub kiln pawg ua lub qhov rooj ntawm qhov chaw ua si tag nrho. Lub taub hau kiln tau hloov mus rau hauv qhov chaw saib, thiab ib qho ntawm cov qub kilns yog siv los ua lub ntsiab nkag ntawm lub tsev cia puav pheej. Cov chaw mining tseem ceeb tau teeb tsa raws li cov ntsiab lus kev kawm ecological, thiab saib lub qhov rais thiab saib cov platforms tau teeb tsa ntawm cov haujlwm sib xws ntawm lub tsev cia puav pheej, kom lub tsev cia puav pheej yog nruj nreem khi rau hauv qhov chaw tshwj xeeb no.

Unique Properties
Pugong Mountain in Henan Province is a limestone mountain. Local residents built hundreds of small lime kilns to produce lime and get rich quickly, but the environment was severely damaged. The site is now abandoned.
In order to promote the concept of sustainable development, we designed the museum by transforming the kiln head into a viewing platform, and using one of the old kilns as the main entrance of the museum, making the mine, the old gypsum kiln and the new museum an organic whole.
Dimensions & Packaging
The museum has 4 floors, divided into 1 underground floor and 3 above ground floors, with a height of 13.5 m, a land area of 14,159.5 square meters, and a total construction area of 3,314.5 square meters.

Production Technology
The building is constructed by local workers, some of whom are descendants of the lime kilns built in the past. We used the most common local technology to build this museum. The building skin is recycled from discarded concrete, with human-scale textured hanging panels, emphasizing the architectural The affinity with people also emphasizes the environmental protection significance of using recycled materials.
Design Challenge
There are two challenges in this project: 1. The owner thinks it is unnecessary to keep these dilapidated lime kilns, the owner thinks they are ugly, and they have to spend more money to strengthen them for the safety of tourists; 2. Compared with the model of simply building new houses, The model of merging old and new buildings presents design and construction challenges.
Research
The Geological Museum mainly displays the production process of lime and the destruction of the ecological environment caused by the disorderly production of lime, and plays a role in popularizing scientific knowledge of lime and ecological education.
We set several key mining areas in the original mining area as ecological education points, and set viewing windows and viewing platforms at the corresponding positions of the museum building, so that the museum building is tightly anchored in this special place.
Inspiration
The jagged stone hills and huge mine pits are a meaningful ecological education place in themselves, because the existing lime kilns are tools for people to make money and destroy the environment. Therefore, the inspiration came from the experience of going to the site for the first time: we persuaded the owner to keep part of the incomplete mountain, the mine pit and all the lime kilns. Our design strives to make these site elements become part of the museum and anchor them in the site.
Project Duration
The design of the project began in 2018 and was completed in 2020 in Pugong Mountain,Xixian County,Henan Province,China.
Operation Flow
In order to carry forward the concept of sustainable development, we combined the new museum with the existing lime kiln, using uncalcined limestone as a landscape element, using the continuous old kiln group as the iconic gate of the geopark, and the kiln roof was transformed into a viewing platform . In order to highlight the old lime kiln, we deliberately weakened the shape and color of the museum, "hidden" it behind the old lime kiln, and "pressed" part of the exhibition space into the ground, making the height of the museum lower than the old lime kiln.
