Xu Wei Art Museum and Qingteng Square
Xu Wei Art Museum and Qingteng Square are a very important part of our practice project in Shaoxing Ancient City, and also a key action in the urban renewal plan of “Seeing Qingteng Again”. As the main venue for the “500th Anniversary of Xu Wei’s Birth and the Opening Ceremony of Xu Wei’s Hometown”, they were officially put into use in May 2021.
In fact, the conceptual scheme of the Art Museum has taken shape in the first site survey, which absorbs the essence of Qingteng Bookstore’s building and gardening, and puts forward some thoughts on the landmark public cultural buildings in the current renewal of ancient city: we try to establish a kind of new spatial expression, with a view to connecting the surrounding built environment mainly based on the small scale of traditional dwellings, meeting the demands of contemporary art exhibitions for large space, and meanwhile discussing the topic of “modernity in historical context”.
