Qingxi Culture and History Museum by UAD is a cultural destination in China designed in harmony with its surroundings
Nestled in the rich greenery and rolling hills outside the city of Sangzhou in China’s Zhejiang Province, the newly completed Qingxi Culture and History Museum is a cultural space created for and from its environment. Designed by Hangzhoh-based architecture studio UAD, the region’s fresh visitor destination, created for the Ninghai Cultural Tourism Group, is a multi-award winning rural gem, conceived to connect its visitors with the local nature, history and culture.
The architects drew inspiration from the structure’s countryside setting, which mixes wooded areas, wild fields and agricultural land, tended by residents from the surrounding villages. There are terraced fields and a backdrop of mountains in the distance – making this an idyllic setting for embracing the area’s pristine nature.
The mostly exposed materials highlight a pride in the construction process, as the architects worked with local, skilled stonemasons, who crafted the museum’s masonry walls on site, working with raw material from the surrounding fields. ‘Based on simple techniques and methods, the whole building is in harmony with its surrounding terraced fields and mountains, both in texture and in form.
‘The architectural volumes dissolve into the environment. The building is in dialogue with the terraced fields, creek, bridge and paths. Walking through the bridge above the stream, and approaching the building nestled under mountains, visitors continuously encounter unexpected surprises along the way.’ §
