Zhu Pei's Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Museum recalls a time of glory
of the once "Millenium Porcelain Capital" city, Jingdezhen, and
extends these memories to the present. Inspired by the perception
of Jingdezhen's specific regional culture (porcelain) and the
survival wisdom of the locals, the museum is a symbol of the past
and future. The contemporary architecture magnificently resonates
the ages: the building form is reminiscent of ancient traditional
brick kilns, and its landscape - with mirror pools, bamboo groves,
kiln ruins, and courtyards - recreates an impression of
Jingdezhen's vibrant porcelain past. As an "Architecture of
Nature," that evokes both contemporaneity and ancient vibes, the
museum subverts typical perceptions of modern-day museums. Coloured
photos, drawings, essays, and interviews provide detailed insights
on the conception of the museum - from design concept to
environmental strategies, to construction techniques and
construction materials - as well as the architect's personal
perspectives on the overall concept and intention of the museum.
The pages also feature commentaries on the museum by well-known
architects, including Steven Holl, Kenneth Frampton, Mohsen
Mostafavi, Rem Koolhaas, and Arata Isozaki.
