About Nanjing City Wall Museum Izstāžu zāle

Nanjinas pilsētas mūra muzeja izstāžu zāle ir interjera telpa, kas atspoguļo Nanjinas pilsētas mūra vēsturi. Zāle aizņem 2500 kvadrātmetrus pagraba stāvā, un griestu augstums ir seši un četri metri. Piecas zonas skaidro mūra būvniecību, saglabāšanu un kultūras vērtību. Masīva telpa, kas veidota no gandrīz tūkstoš pilsētas ķieģeļiem ar uzrakstiem, tiek balstīta uz tērauda konstrukcijām. Neapstrādāta betona virsmas un pēc pasūtījuma izgatavoti alumīnija paneļi veido ekspozīcijas sienas. Vairāk nekā divdesmit interaktīvie moduļi, tostarp 3D smilšu kastes maketi un taustāmi artefakti, kalpo visu vecumu apmeklētājiem.

Over 20 modules (3D sandboxes, tactile artifacts, interactive installations, etc.) offer an immersive touring experience that closes the distance between audiences and the Nanjing City Wall.
Design Challenge: The exhibition hall pioneers an array space made of nearly a thousand city bricks, which are directly sourced from the Nanjing City Wall and bear unique inscriptions, imbuing the exhibition hall with high cultural value. It uses steel structures to ensure the safe display of historical artifacts and maximize the audiences' immersive visual experience, delivering visual and cultural impact.

Inspiration: Inspired by the Nanjing City Wall's masonry techniques and spatial enclosure features, the exhibition hall adopts a unique architectural design. It is dominated by city wall gray and accentuated by thematic colors such as Forbidden City red and moat blue, enriching visual layering and embodying cultural depth. It pioneers an array space made of nearly a thousand city bricks, aided by multi-sensory digital interactive installations, creating a museum that is friendly to all-age audiences.
Project Duration: The project finished in May 2023 in Nanjing.

From layout to form design, it establishes a coherent and sophisticated display system, enhancing the connection between the museum and the city wall ruins. Besides, it offers multiple interaction activities like brick inscription surname queries, wall memory recordings, and immersive animation, satisfying the needs of all-age audiences.
