combines the charm of classical architecture and modern construction technology. A great country builds a brand new landmark.
Hong Kong Forbidden City is located in the West Kowloon Cultural District on the Victoria Harbour. From a distance, the 7-storey museum building is like a huge square tripod standing on the harbor. The builder uses technology to empower it and took three years to complete this magnificent building that combines the charm of classical architecture and modern construction technology. It is known as the new landmark in Hong Kong.
"Wide on the top and gather on the bottom, the top is empty on the bottom", Wang Yong, project leader of the Hong Kong Palace Museum, China Architecture International Group, introduced that the appearance design of the Hong Kong Palace Museum draws on the aesthetic characteristics of traditional Chinese artifact design, and is supplemented by modern architectural techniques and emerging building materials to reflect the architectural characteristics. It is the first high-inclined, large-area tilted clear water concrete exterior building structure in Hong Kong. "We innovatively use smart construction systems and develop advanced construction technologies to complete the design requirements. "Wang Yong said that from drawing design, factory production to on-site construction, from plan simulation, schedule simulation to construction inspection and other project construction, building information simulation technology (BIM) model drawing is realized. At the same time, the smart construction site system (C-SMART) is used to optimize the process from construction progress, safety, environmental protection, quality management, etc., to improve construction efficiency and construction quality.
The Forbidden City has retained many "Forbidden City DNA" during construction. "In order to retain the characteristic elements of the Forbidden City glazed tiles and red walls, prefabricated components in the form of decorative aluminum plates, glass curtain walls, natural gradient iron decorative panels are used in the exterior walls. "Wang Yong gave an example, the main entrance of the Forbidden City's Forbidden City contains the design concept of the Forbidden City's Jinshui River. It is built with translucent glass building materials, presenting a shape consistent with the curve and arc of the Jinshui River. The vermilion main entrance is equipped with 810 glass nails, which pays tribute to the most distinctive "red door golden nails" of the Forbidden City. Entering the museum, the internal space also echoes the concept of the central axis of the Forbidden City. Referring to the progressive layout of the central axis space plane of the Forbidden City, three atrium spaces facing different directions are left on the ground, the second and the fourth floors, which progress through layer by layer, running through the entire building.
"The construction project of the Forbidden City's Forbidden City's construction project carries the special requirements of interpreting history with architectural design and protecting cultural relics with architectural space. "Wang Yong introduced that the preservation of cultural relics requires strict environmental conditions. In order to achieve precise control of temperature and humidity, the building has about 8,000 valves and more than 6,000 air nozzles, which will achieve the accuracy error of air conditioner temperature control in the museum that does not exceed 2 degrees Celsius above and below, and the accuracy error of humidity control does not exceed 5% relative humidity above and below, so as to ensure that the cultural relics and exhibits in the museum can be preserved and exhibited in the most suitable environment in the future.
Backed by the motherland, based in Hong Kong, looking at the world
In Wu Zhihua's office, the four words "harmony but different" are hung, which also reflects his library philosophy: "China must understand more about world culture to have a more say, and the world must understand more about Chinese culture to have a fair understanding of modern China. "
As an international cultural metropolis, Hong Kong is rooted in Chinese traditional culture and integrates foreign diverse cultures. A museum is set up in a place where cultural exchanges and integration between China and the West are not only to promote Hong Kong's integration into the overall national cultural development, but also to help Hong Kong become a center for cultural and artistic exchanges between China and foreign countries.
is backed by the motherland, based in Hong Kong, and looking at the world. This is the confidence of the Forbidden City of Hong Kong. "In addition to promoting the excellent traditional Chinese culture, promoting dialogue on world civilization is also our key task. "Wu Zhihua said that in the future, he will prepare exhibitions on the theme of cultural exchange between China and the West, and look for opportunities to hold a world tour exhibition, spreading Chinese culture, including the Forbidden City culture, to abroad, such as arrange the exhibitions of the Forbidden City in Hong Kong to continue to be exhibited in foreign museums. At the same time, he also actively introduces foreign exhibits to Hong Kong and the Mainland for exhibition, making greater contributions to promoting exchanges and mutual learning of civilizations.
"As the first cooperative project of the Forbidden City Museum outside of mainland China, the construction of the Forbidden City Cultural Museum in Hong Kong is of great significance."In the view of Wang Siyu, assistant professor of the School of Archaeology and Arts at Peking University and researcher at the UNESCO Asia-Pacific World Heritage Training and Research Center (Beijing), the Forbidden City of Hong Kong will help strengthen cultural exchanges between the mainland and Hong Kong, enhance the cohesion and cultural centripetal force of the Chinese nation, and also take advantage of Hong Kong's unique international vision and the advantages of the special zone, and promote the Forbidden City of Hong Kong to become a platform for dialogue between Chinese cultural and museum institutions and overseas cultural institutions.
In addition to giving full play to the cultural exchange function of the museum, Wu Zhihua also hopes that the Forbidden City of Hong Kong will become a platform for young people to understand the national history and culture, and enhance historical awareness and cultural awareness. "Cultural relics can reflect the five thousand years of civilization development history of China, give people an eternal artistic beauty, and can also enhance the public's historical awareness and cultural confidence. "By presenting the cultural relics of the Forbidden City to the audience vividly, interestingly and three-dimensionally, he hopes that the Forbidden City in Hong Kong can undertake the mission of encouraging young people to enhance their national cultural identity, so that more young people can become inheritors and innovators of Chinese culture.
It is understood that in order to attract more public visits, the Forbidden City in Hong Kong has also planned a series of exhibitions, academic activities, educational projects, talent exchange and other activities, not only will it hold a series of opening exhibition lectures, It will also hold regular film screenings, master classes for masterpieces of calligraphy and painting, children's and adult pottery, rubbings and cultural relics restoration and ancient building protection workshops, etc., to give full play to the cultural popularization and educational functions of the museum. Wang Siyu believes that taking this opportunity to borrow exhibits from the Palace Museum as an opportunity, the museum will integrate into the public's life in a more flexible way and proactive manner. "In the future, the museum will play an important role in enriching the cultural life of the people and promoting the prosperity and development of our country's cultural undertakings. ” (Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and National Supervisory Commission website Zhang Chi Wen Ziyu)
