Architectural layout of museums in Guangdong Province

Guangdong Provincial Museum has a total construction area of 67,000 square meters, with one basement and five floors above ground. It is mainly equipped with exhibition hall, collection preservation system, education service facilities, business research facilities, security, public services and integrated management system. The exhibition hall is divided into four parts: history hall, nature hall, art museum and temporary exhibition hall. The museum building adopts the design concept of "treasure chest", and the reinforced concrete core tube undertakes the suspension structure system of giant steel truss. The shape of the museum is like a carved treasure box, which originated from the traditional Guangdong handicraft-ivory ball. The spatial organization of the museum is like the hollowing out process of ivory balls, and the internal functions are interlocking. The exhibition hall, cloister and atrium are closely integrated with the whole structure, and they are spread out layer by layer from the inside out, and a large area of green grass slope gradually slows down along the west side of the museum.

The height of the atrium of Guangdong Museum reaches the top floor from the audience lobby, and natural light is sprinkled from the glass skylight at the top as the main public space. The periphery is connected with the upper and lower corridors through ramps, stairs and escalators to guide the audience into the exhibition hall. At the same time, different activity halls are set in the corridor to float above the atrium, and steel bridges are set on the activity halls, which become the active factors of the space. In order to continue the concept of "treasure chest", the corridor is also separated from the atrium space by perforated metal plates, which strengthens the sense of hierarchy.
