[ #Suzhou’s New Landmark to Open for Trial Operation Soon !]
On December 15th, the Suzhou Science and Technology Museum officially announced that its exhibition construction has entered the final sprint stage and will soon begin trial operation. Located on the northeast side of Shishan Cultural Square in Suzhou High-tech Zone, the museum has one underground floor and three above-ground floors, with a total construction area of approximately 63,000 square meters and an exhibition area of 40,000 square meters. The museum will feature 10 permanent exhibition halls, 3 temporary exhibition halls, 7 educational exhibition spaces, 3 theaters, and various supporting service spaces, becoming a “science playground” that offers both immersive experiences and thought-provoking insights.
Blending Nature and Technology
Forming a direct axial link to the Suzhou City high-tech district, the Suzhou Science and Technology Museum reflects Suzhou’s commitment to discovery and innovation, and the harmony that exists between science, technology, nature and man.
Through the use of terraces, outdoor roof gardens, and the overall building form, the new museum is responsive to the context of the site, expressing a modern, forward looking design. Drawing inspiration from the ecology of nature and traditional Chinese elements, the timeless, thoughtful, and visually iconic building embodies the spirit of innovation, exploration and discovery. The industrial exhibition hall celebrates the history and reveals the future of industrial development and how it will shape, influence and enrich people’s lives.
We look from the museum to Lion Mountain for inspiration and a never-ending example of the importance of our Chinese culture to be inspired by the country’s leadership in innovation, technology, science…and a future filled with possibilities.
The Museum’s landscape strategy looks to reinforce ideas introduced in the master plan by weaving five new and diverse themed spaces into an already rich ecological tapestry.
The roof of the Museum emerges seamlessly from the base of Lion Mountain, transitioning from a natural rocky hillside and forested landscape into a series of sweeping gardens and paths. As the path continues to the top of the building overlook, the woodlands typology transitions from organic garden patterns into technological patterns mixed with photovoltaic receptors balancing industry with nature
Sustainability
The new Suzhou Science and Technology Museum is designed to minimize its impact on Shishan Park, with the building acting as a learning tool for visitors to observe methods of energy and water conservation, power generation, and occupant comfort and well-being.
