CHENGDU NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM (THE MUSEUM OF CHENGDU UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY)

The Chengdu Natural History Museum (The Museum of Chengdu University of Technology) is the most current example of Pelli Clarke & Partners’ commitment to design within the framework of contextual response. The project presents a celebration of Chengdu’s historical legacy and modern ethos, transforming the city’s skyline and symbolizing its energy and innovative spirit. The project was inspired by four distinct and overlapping typologies: the architectural form derived from the Shu Mountains, the tour experience imitating the Shu Road, the unique selection of stone materials, and the waterfront landscape design derived from the Shu Water.
