This also means that the project of the North Courtyard of the Palace Museum, which started in 2013, has finally started after ten years.
The construction contents include 35000 square meters of cultural relics exhibition hall, 20000 square meters of cultural relics repair room, 23000 square meters of cultural relics warehouse, 9500 square meters of cultural communication room of the Digital Palace Museum, 2500 square meters of audience service room, 12000 square meters of comprehensive supporting facilities room, etc.
” Following the principles of openness, fairness, impartiality and standardization of the Bidding Law, the Palace Museum innovatively invited young and middle-aged design masters to submit proposals respectively in 2015.
The Forbidden City has a central axis, and the central axis of the north courtyard area is also the core of the Forbidden City’s’ skyline ‘.
From the perspective of the effect drawing, the north courtyard area of the Palace Museum, which faces water in the south and mountains in the north, has a traditional cultural charm in the architecture.
What will the Northern Palace Museum be built? As the “other garden” of the Forbidden City, what will be built in the north courtyard of the Palace Museum? Beijing Daily has an exclusive interview with Zhang Yu, the chief architect of the Northern Palace Museum, the national master of engineering survey and design, and the deputy secretary of the Party Committee and general manager of the Beijing Institute of Construction, to reveal a modern museum with a strong cultural “gene”, and a museum in the garden surrounded by trees.
Under the golden double-eaved roof is the body of the house surrounded by red walls.
“The axis is the foundation of the form.
Therefore, the sense of order that conforms to the temperament of the Forbidden City has also become an important consideration in the design.
This linear pattern of water in the south and mountains in the north also echoes the ideal layout of traditional Chinese “Kanyu” theory.
The gorgeous and rhythmic window lattice is also used as the skin texture.
The gray outer city, the red inner wall and the golden double eaves make people think of the Palace Museum at a glance.
In the future, the northern courtyard area with a building area of more than 100000 square meters will complement the advantages of the Palace Museum, extending and strengthening the cultural heritage and dissemination functions of the Palace Museum.
Zhu Qiqian, to “protect the Forbidden City from war”, and led the faculty and students of the Department of Architecture of Beiyang University to map the drawings of the Forbidden City, leaving valuable historical data for the complete protection of this magnificent ancient building on the central axis.
In the design of the north courtyard of the Palace Museum, the designers drew on the spatial layout of the traditional Chinese “hall”, “hall”, “house” and “courtyard” to make the north courtyard become a huge museum community.
At the end of the 1950s, Professor Wang Shixu of the Beijing Academy of Architecture participated in the research and design of lightning protection devices for the Forbidden City.
From the horizontal moving line, after entering the north courtyard area of the Palace Museum from the east bank square, the audience first reached the entrance porch through the bridge walkway, and then stepped up from the east entrance etiquette hall to the central hall on the second floor, followed by the exhibition hall, waterfront landscape area, and Houhua Park.
The axis design is combined with the terrain conditions.
In the final design and planning of the building, the external cultural relics exhibition is arranged on the east side of the site, and the relatively private cultural relics warehouse, repair and logistics functions are arranged on the west side of the site, which can meet the functional layout to the maximum extent, but also facilitate the phased construction.
We want to pay tribute to the Forbidden City through this balanced axis layout and the composition logic of scattered points, which is also inheriting the historical and cultural heritage of the Forbidden City.” Zhang Yu, a layered museum group, said that the spatial sequence of ancient Chinese architectural art has been perfectly displayed in the Forbidden City.
Spatial layout This is a group of museums with distinct layers.
At the same time, this “three-section” facade layout also echoes the functional layout, meeting the layout of comprehensive services, regular exhibitions, special exhibitions and viewing corridors from the bottom up.
.
Where does the design inspiration of the axis come from? Zhang Yu told reporters that where the north courtyard of the Palace Museum is located, the land for construction is long and narrow, irregular in shape, about 900 meters long from east to west, while the narrowest part from north to south is only 60 meters.
Click “Civil Vision” and pay attention to us.
As early as 1941 and 1944, the chief architect of the Beijing Institute of Architecture, Master Zhang Xuan, led the architect, Mr.
A series of buildings echo inside and outside.
Finally, Zhang Yu’s layout plan, which did not specifically reflect the new buildings but echoed the traditional Chinese “Kanyu” theory, stood out, which was later known to the public as the “golden roof building forms an axis” plan.
The axis design meets the layout and is also a tribute.
How to meet the function of a modern museum in the narrow terrain? After repeated consideration, the design team found that if the main exhibition is arranged on the southwest side, although the function concentration is strong, the overall layout brings a sense of weightlessness, and the plot on the east side is not fully utilized, the flow line is too long, and the attraction and experience of the main flow of people from the east side is not strong.
From the perspective of the building facade, the three parts consisting of the roof, the body and the steps are also the “three-section” composition method imitating the shape of Chinese classical architecture.
From the perspective of geographical location, the construction site of the north courtyard of the Palace Museum is located in Xiyuhe Village, Northwest Wang Town, Haidian District, and is the core component of the “Peace Palace” project.
After three times of association with the Forbidden City, Zhang Yuxian talked about the long-standing relationship between the establishment of the Palace Museum in Beijing and the Palace Museum.
On December 30, 2022, the project in the north courtyard of the Palace Museum held a kick-off meeting.
The first floor is raised naturally by the large steps combined with the grass slope.
According to the official website of the Palace Museum, the construction site of the project in the north courtyard area is located in Xiyuhe Village, Northwest Wang Town, Haidian District, with a total land area of 62.01 hectares and a total construction area of 102000 square meters, including 35000 square meters of cultural relics exhibition hall and 20000 square meters of cultural relics repair room.
” Therefore, this time providing design for the north courtyard of the Palace Museum is our third tie with the Palace Museum.
The total land area of the project is 62.01 hectares, and the total building area is 102000 square meters.
The east-west axis design is also full of order.
