Nanjing, a city steeped in history, showcases its legacy through enduring landmarks like the ancient city walls, standing sentinel amidst picturesque mountain ranges and meandering rivers. The site atop Chin Liang Mountain echoes centuries of tales, notably the serene retreat of the Tang Dynasty graced by the resilient 'Cui Wei Pavilion,' a testament to bygone eras.
With the strong presence of the Chin Liang Temple, Chongzheng Academy, and other significant historical buildings, it would be counter-productive to simply add another architectural element that competes for attention. Instead of creating another ‘subject in the context’, which might not be suitable for the surroundings, our intention is to establish a new ‘context of subject’ where the natural landscape itself becomes the backdrop for history—a ‘non-man-made’ entity serving as a transitional space, a bridge between the past and the future, a journey connecting the beginning and the end.
Nature transforms into a historical canvas—a bridge traversing epochs. The museum's gentle unveiling merges history into daily life, inviting contemplation into buried narratives while seamlessly harmonizing with the surroundings. This elevated museum-park hybrid atop the mountain represents craftsmanship and time, an architectural crescendo within Chin Liang Park's storied landscape.
Walls, Gate, Gardens, Roof
The emergence of enclosed walls, blending into the ground, mirrors the unearthing of buried history—a subtle guide leading visitors to the arrival gardens. The entrance gate, a contemporary homage to ancient portals, symbolizes our era's narrative. The journey through CLRM unfolds Chin Liang Reservoir's essence via four gardens, tranquil preludes to the unfolding narrative. Ascending to the sky garden unveils a panoramic cityscape, centered around a relic from the reservoir—a quiet link to the past seamlessly woven into daily life, passing history to future generations in subtle whispers.
