It pioneers an array space made of nearly a thousand city bricks, with digital interactive installations to balance grand narratives with engaging activities, fusing cultural heritage and public education.
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.
