Other Projects by KSP Jürgen Engel Architekten
Jiangsu Provincial Art Museum
Commissioned by Jiangsu Province
represented by the Jiangsu Olympic Center, the museum for traditional Chinese
art was designed by KSP Jürgen Engel Architekten and realized in collaboration with its Chinese partner company
Nanjing Kingdom Architecture Design Co. Ltd. Located in the cultural center of
Nanjing and in the immediate proximity of the historical Presidential Palace of
today’s provincial capital, the new Jiangsu Provincial Art Museum is one of the
most important museums in south-east China. It has space for temporary
exhibitions and houses a permanent collection featuring traditional Chinese
art, which illustrates the cultural wealth of Nanjing – one of the oldest
cities in southern China. The sizeable collection is kept in archive rooms in
the Museum, which meet today’s technical and strict conservation requirements. Having previously designed the National Library of China in Beijing,
the German company KSP Jürgen Engel Architekten has now completed its second
significant cultural building in China.
The eye-catching new museum, which won
first prize in a competition in 2006, takes up a several urban references from
its deeply historical location. The main entrance faces the main city square, Daxing Gong Shi Min Square. In addition, the two structures of the Museum that stand at slight
angles to one another follow the two flanking thoroughfares: Zhongshan (or
Revolution) Road, and Changjiang (or Culture) Road.
The two interlocking u-shaped buildings
also create a space that is covered with a light glass roof. This 17-meter high
access area, which narrows at its two main entrances, links the two stone
halves of the building and guides visitors into the Museum.
In the northern building, clear
exhibition rooms of varying sizes offer ideal conditions for presenting the
works of art. Two bridges spanning the glass-covered intermediate space connect
the exhibition area with the southern element.
In addition to training, conference and
office space, this building also contains the VIP area and the auditorium with
seating for around 400 people.
The travertine natural stone facing with
its narrow window indentations obscures the sheer number of storeys and as such
reinforces the overall monolithic impression of the museum building.
Simultaneously, the alternation between vertical stone panels and window slits
with sheet metal jutting out at the sides creates rhythm in the façade. The
structural frame and the delicate construction of the glass roof were developed
in collaboration with Stuttgart-based German engineers Breuninger.
