Sanxingdui Museum, China
The Sanxingdui relic site holds a civilization that dates back 4,800 years. The existing museum park was completed and opened in 1997, covering an area of approximately 35.3 hectares. However, the combined total area of the old museums No.1 and No.2 is only 11,000 square meters, which is insufficient to accommodate the display of new cultural relics and the increasing number of visitors. To address this, the new museum and visitor center will encompass a total area of 54,400 square meters. The new museum will be the primary venue for exhibitions and tourist guidance for cultural relics. The old Museum No.1 and No.2 will be repurposed into digital halls and research and education centers in the future.
The site for the new museum is located in the north of the park's central axis, 400 meters long, near the river embankment. In such a large-scale site, the building is conceived as an uplifted landscape—three undulating mounds, as a response in the topographical sense and also a response to the context of the site—the three mound-shaped ruins left over from the ancient Shu Kingdom. The geometric surface of the mound-shaped building is derived from the old museum No. 2. The design extends the classic spiral exterior wall of the old building outwards to serve as the guiding curve for shaping the three mounds' form and space.
In the Sanxingdui No. 2 old museum, the iconic circular atrium facing the sky symbolizes the "Eye of the Sky," representing the reverence for the heavens. The new building creates an " Eye of the Earth " that rotates toward the center of the earth, reflecting the pursuit of earthly connections- The spiral ramp spirals down and finally reaches the lowest point of the building - a circular pit located 10 meters below ground level. In the deepest part of the pit, three beams of laser projection shoot out from the circular aperture, projecting images of the evolving Sanxingdui civilization onto the ceiling positioned 30 meters above.
The new museum consists of 2 above-ground floors, with four permanent exhibition halls on each floor. Additionally, two underground temporary exhibition halls have a total exhibition area of 20,000 square meters. The span of the column-free exhibition hall is between 15 and 30M, while the story height varies from 7 to 12 meters.
