About Suzhou Drainage Museum Izložbena dvorana

Muzej odvodnje Suzhou je znanstveni muzej posvećen obradi otpadnih voda, dizajniran u tematici podmornice. Enterijer kombinira oblike suvremene opreme za obradu s kabinama za upravljanje, brodskim oknima i cijevima. Jasno definirane rute kretanja vode kroz faze pročišćavanja, uključujući taloženje, filtraciju, adsorpciju, dubinsku obradu i dezinfekciju. Multimedijski uređaji i interaktivna aktivna područja zamjenjuju pasivno izlaganje. Ekološki prihvatljivi materijali stvaraju jednostavan i moderan vizualni dojam. Muzej ima za cilj podići ekološku svijest kroz iskustveno učenje.

Production Technology: The project is mainly built with environmentally friendly materials, whose textures, colors and grains create a simple visual effect and set a very modern tone. The material selection enhances the relaxing and joyful ambiance, and more meaningfully, puts the concept of sustainable development into practice, which resonates with the project positioning as a science museum for popularizing the knowledge about sewage treatment and ecological environment protection.
Design Challenge: The design difficulty lay in the public resistance to the stereotype of traditional science museums, incapacitating the effect on science popularization. To address the issue above, the project provides scientific and joyful experiences for visitors, and motivates them to explore via immersive multisensoryinteraction and hands on activities. The reclaimed water pool outside is designed as the realistic presentation of harmonious ecology, channeling the academic journey to the real life.
Research: The picturesque scenery of Suzhou City in China isattributed to its advanced drainage system, which is worthy of local residents and nonnative visitors to learn from. Drawing on the drainage system, this project simplifies the complicate water purification process into the steps of precipitation, filtration, adsorption, deep treatment and disinfection, presenting the complex process lucidly. And the content displayed in multiple dimensions gives visitors a scientific and joyful experience.
Inspiration: Inspired by submarines, the design team further used pipe elements commonly seen in sewage treatment to simulate an immersive space that combines scientific knowledge and activities, where all age groupscan be drawn in to learn about environmental protection. Via therealistic exhibition design, the conventional dull science popularization is turned into a relaxing and joyful journey of exploration, instilling sewage treatment knowledge into visitors through audiovisual and hands on activities
Project Duration: The project design lasted from June 10 to September 18, 2021. And the science museum is located near Shihu Bridge in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province.
Operation Flow: This project sheds the passive audiovisual mode of science popularization, and fully utilizes multimedia devices to enrich education forms. The areas for hands on activities are set according to the moving lines and the sewage treatment process, which are available for operation and display, showing the amazing process that turns sewage into reclaimed water.
The reclaimed water pool outside tangibly displays the results of sewage treatment, visualizing the purity of reclaimed water for visitors.
