MUSEUM

Nanjing Tangshan Geological Museum

A modern design enhances the museum's landscape architecture.

This project was a wonderful opportunity to collaborate with HASSELL on the landscape architecture for a museum project. It was both an enjoyable and honorable experience to work with their talented design team.

The design was strongly inspired by local culture, particularly the architectural principles of the Ming Dynasty. These ideas were carefully adapted into a modern landscape design approach.

The stonework was executed with precision and artistry, bringing the design vision to life on a grand scale.

Site visits were crucial to understanding the scale of the landscape and its relationship to the museum architecture. Hand-drawn design sketches helped refine key ideas during the design process.

The design focused on creating an open front view and a series of layered terraces arranged within a systematic, modern landscape framework.

The design draws inspiration from the formal and symbolic language of Ming Dynasty tomb architecture.
