Qiandu Changjiang Art Museum

Qiandu Yangtze River Art Museum is located on the site of the former Yangtze River Village in the northeast of Taiyuan. The wave of urbanization has flattened the history of Yangtze River Village for more than 70 years and its natural terrain. With the historical changes of the urban village, a large number of high-rise residential buildings have been built, which has rapidly improved people's living environment and living standards, but has brought discontinuous changes to spiritual life. The Yangtze River Art Museum was designed by Mr. Dong Gong, the founder of the Vertical Architecture Office. It covers an area of ​​1,100 square meters and a construction area of ​​3,900 square meters. It consists of two functions: art exhibition and commercial operation. As the main function, art exhibition is placed in the upper part of the building volume. The skylight is used to diffuse the overall circular and coherent exhibition space to maximize the vitality of the exhibits. The attached commercial functions are placed on the ground floor of the building to connect with the block. The original intention of the design of Qiandu Yangtze River Art Museum is to use the new community public supporting facilities "Yangtze River Art Museum" to present the village memory and traditional life fragments, and show them to the people who continue to live here. Through the art museum, we can present the village memories and traditional life that were very important in Taiyuan’s urban memory at that time. At the same time, we can also interact with urban residents through art exhibitions and become a place that can represent Taiyuan’s culture and artistic exchanges.
