The Museum aims to create a unique exhibition and experience venue for the grass weaving art in Linwei by telling the story of its origin, inheritance, and rebirth. With a unique architectural venue, it creates a phenomenal cultural checkpoint and cultural exchange platform, creating a new museum style and a benchmark for the sustainable inheritance of intangible cultural heritage. The design concept is extracted from straw art and introduced into the central courtyard, softening the edges of the building to reflect "resilience". The spiral rising courtyard lines connect the space to form a "knot", and the woven texture of the facade "coils" upwards, forming a museum with straw characteristics that stands amidst the golden wheat waves. Climbing to the top provides a panoramic view of the entire area and the mountains and fields, allowing you to appreciate the beauty of architecture and nature from multiple perspectives. When night falls, the sparkling lights of Tianliu Mountain and the mottled light and shadow emanating from the grass woven museum through the facade texture of the building jointly create an atmosphere of starry sky and Tianliu.
渭南草编博物馆通过讲述草编艺术的缘起-传承-新生,为临渭草编艺术打造一处独特的展示和体验场所,以独树一帜的建筑场所,打造现象级文化打卡地,文化交流平台,创造一种新的博物馆范式、非遗文化可持续传承的标杆。设计概念提取自草编艺术品,引入中央庭院,柔化建筑边缘体现“韧性”,螺旋上升的庭院动线串联空间形成“结”,编织肌理的立面“盘”绕而上,形成具有草编特色的博物馆形象矗立于金色麦浪之中。在乡野自然环境中感受草编艺术、展览与经营空间相结合的模式,更易创造留人的场所。登顶可至观景平台,放眼整个片区、山光田景尽收眼底,从多个角度来欣赏建筑和自然之美。夜幕降临时,天留山的闪闪灯光、草编博物馆透过建筑立面肌理渗出的斑驳光影,共同营造出星空天留的意境。
