National Museum of China

Shenzen, China. 2019
2º Prize. Concurso Internacional

CLIENTE: Shenzen Qianhai Development Investment Holdings
ARQUITECTOS: estudioHerreros (Juan Herreros - Jens Richter) con la colaboración de Why Art Projects
DIRECTOR DE PROYECTO: Gonzalo Rivas
EQUIPO DE PROYECTO: Carlos Canella, Laura Mora, Cayetana López, Manuel García-Lecha, Mona El Koussa, Juan Carlos Bragado
AREA: 120.000 m2

The new National Museum of China is with its iconic presence will transform Unit 8 of the Qianwan area into the epicenter of culture and art of Shenzhen. The museum will form a unique enclave which will produce one of the emblematic postcard silhouettes of the city when celebrating the 50th anniversary of the national reform. For this reason, we propose a new city model, celebrating the hybridization of cultural program, education, research and leisure together with the residential and office buildings set in a generous portion of public space. Its singular height, shape and its vibrant materiality will be greeting people day and night performing as an urban-artificial object that will give its visitors an overview and orientation over and within the city, the surrounding mountains and the Qianhai bay. A public outdoor spiral path along a sequence of gardens will provide views towards the bay, the mountain and the new city for understanding the past, present and future of the Qianhai region, while inside the circulation is organized along a sequence of 4 sky-lobbies working as urban plazas for accessing the different public functions of the museum. The façade for the new National Museum of China consists floor-to-floor prefabricated elements mounted in a zigzag array and finished with a set of recycled materials of different transparencies incorporating sun shading and ventilation devices. Our proposal is committed to minimizing consumption of limited natural resources, implementing renewable energies and building with the lowest possible carbon footprint, taking advantage of the interconnected lobbies and the thermal mass of the circulation cores to introduce natural ventilation as a means to cool down the public areas of the museum in summer, establishing systems to collect rainwater to irrigate the roofscape park and grey water recycle and reuse to not overload urban sanitation systems.
