New Science museum for the Wanchuang Future technology campus in Nanchang, China
Ganjiang is a new national level district on the banks of the Gan river, in the north of Nanchang City, the capital of Jiangxi province. In the coming years the planned 465km2 will be realized with the ambition to become one of the greenest and healthiest living and working environments in China. The Wanchuang Science City is located in the center of Ganjiang, close to the yet to be built CBD and directly connected to the highway that links the campus to the airport and downtown Nanchang.
Located on the corner of two main roads, the museum marks the entrance to the campus. Its initial shape is derived from pedestrian flow analysis and the desire to have clear views from the main roads to the central square of the campus. The first two floors offer exhibition space for the science museum, the top two floors provide conference facilities with rooms ranging from 10-200 people. The two functions are subtly visible in the massing, melted together and wrapped with an elegant fluent skin.
The entrance square in front of the museum will be used as a space for outdoor events. The welcoming ‘grand stairs’ is an extension of the public space and includes not only covered outdoor seating for events, but also is the start of a public route that connects several viewing terraces. In combination with the shared functions and the café along this public route, it invites people to use the outdoor spaces of the building and become a vibrant knowledge exchange platform for the community.
The building skin of horizontal aluminum lamellas wraps the complex volume into one fluent shape. The lamellas ‘flux’ from horizontal to vertical and compose a skin pattern that follows the logic of the window openings and guarantee daylight, views and transparency when needed. The complex building massing in combination with the fluxing panels required the latest parametric design technology to limit the amount of panel types and minimize waste.
The opening of the museum is the start of a bigger area development, including a school, retail areas, residential areas and supporting facilities. Due to the current start-up character of the campus, the top two floors will be initially used as sales center and co-working space. When the development moves forward it will be changed to a conference center. The building is flexible for a longer period of time to accommodate possible future uses. Besides flexible column-free spaces, every floor has its own entrance, allowing potential multiple independent functions on different floors to operate stand-alone in case future use requires to do so.
