About Physics Vaults Sergi Tasarımı

Physics Vaults, Çin'in Shandong eyaletindeki bir bilim müzesi için hazırlanmış bir sergi tasarımıdır. Yaklaşık 7.000 metrekarelik iç mekân; beş sergi salonu, bir giriş bölgesi ve sürükleyici bir halka mekân barındırır. Salonlar, tek seferde dökülen brüt betondan oluşan, giderek küçülen kemerler dizisiyle çerçevelenir. Kemerli kabuklar hem taşıyıcı sistem olarak çalışır hem de tesisat ve medya sistemleri için gizli boşluklar sunar. Büyük ölçekli deney düzenekleri, çelik yürüme yolları, delikli metal ve gizli aydınlatma ziyaretçileri beş temel deney sahnesi boyunca yönlendirerek karmaşık fizik içeriğinin daha kolay anlaşılmasını sağlar.

Unique Properties
Based on five key experiment scenes, including particle accelerators, the design features a sequence of halls framed by diminishing concrete arches. By integrating realistic large-scale apparatus with raw architectural form, the space fuses artistic immersion, scientific cognition, and philosophical speculation. This creates a top-tier innovative science museum experience, transforming engineering physics into a profound dialogue on humanity's shared pursuit of truth.
Dimensions & Packaging
The interior comprises five main exhibition halls, an entrance zone and an immersive ring space, with a total designed area of approximately 7,000 square meters.

Production Technology
Arched shells are cast in a single pour of fair-faced concrete, serving as both primary structure and hidden cavity for MEP and media systems. Realistic large-scale apparatus is set directly against these raw surfaces to meet core science-education needs, while steel walkways, perforated metal and concealed lighting add an almost theatrical vividness, unifying exhibition and construction into one engineering-physics narrative.
Design Challenge
The main challenge was to integrate exhibition content and construction into a single system rather than simply adding displays to a finished shell. Large-span concrete arches had to work simultaneously as structure and service cavity while still supporting clear sightlines and narrative flow. At the same time, expert-level physics content needed to remain scientifically precise yet legible to non-specialist visitors.
Research
The research focuses on exhibition and experiential space design, exploring how spatial language can connect advanced physics experiments with everyday public understanding. Grounded in scientific rigor and empirical observation, it examines how scale, material and narrative flow shape cognition and emotion, turning the science museum into a bridge between researchers and society and passing scientific spirit to younger generations.
Inspiration
Inspiration comes from the spatial language of high-energy physics infrastructure. Arches echo underground tunnels and protective bunkers, while exposed concrete conveys engineering rationality and authenticity. The space turns complex, expert-level knowledge into accessible experience, letting each visitor feel both their own scale and humanity's shared quest to understand the universe.
Project Duration
The project started in 2015 in Shandong, China and finished in 2021.
Operation Flow
The design employs a dynamic narrative where spatial structure is isomorphic to the exhibition flow. Visitors traverse a sequence of diminishing arches, mirroring the focusing trajectory of particle beams. This progression connects five thematic halls, shifting focus from macro-scale apparatus to micro-scale artifacts. The journey flows from rational observation to immersive contemplation, ensuring physical movement aligns perfectly with the unfolding scientific story.
