Project Location Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province
Entry DescriptionJingdezhen Imperial Kiln Museum is located in the center of the historical area of Jingdezhen of China, which is known as the “Porcelain Capital” in the world for its splendid history of producing pottery. Situated on the site of the Imperial Kiln ruins, the Museum pays homage to Chinese handicraft tradition through modern architecture.
The brick vaults based on the traditional form of the kiln is built through integration of traditional masonry craftsmanship and modern building techniques. Concretes are poured into a space formed between two layers of bricks worked by hands to create a light and thin arch structure.
Vaulted brick structures make up Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Museum. Each arch structure, similar in shape but varying in size and curvature, is positioned naturally in the relic site. Arches, either at regular intervals or connected by glazing, establishes communion between architectural space and the nature.
The spaced light endows the space with more diversity and rhythmic changes.
Light slots are reserved on the drainage ditch between the arch wall and ground. The warm lighting pervades the bottom of the wall to create a welcoming atmosphere.
