Research On The Surface Of Museum Architecture In Cold Regions

In the era background of architecture’s ecology and regionalism gaining more attention, architectures in cold regions begin to focus on the active accommodation toward extreme climate, real expression of natural environment and the conjunction to social context. Museum architecture which roots in cold regions background should not only meet the demand of function transformation but also respond to the special condition of cold regions. In the current design of cold regions museum architecture, as they are located in extreme natural condition and remote location, there are some problems like high energy consumption, cultural communication demand and lacking in regional characteristics. As for the surface design of it, neglecting of theme or design sameness problems also exist. Architecture surface design is the significant part during architecture design progress. Architecture surface has rich visual expression and research value. It also possesses multiple functions and design methods. From the starting point of design, taking architecture surface as an important part during the design of museum architecture can provide new design inspiration for museum architecture in cold regions.The research takes surface of museum architecture as research object and conducts comprehensive and thorough research by materials research, typical cases analysis, basic concepts analysis, summarizing design strategy and design methods. And finally the research proposes logical framework. The research starts from museum architecture surface, as it has characteristics of strong expression, various elements and multiple means, to explore the potential and value of surface design in architectural design. The research firstly studies and summarizes vast museum architecture cases in cold regions combining graphic analyzing and investigation. And it cards and summarizes the museum architecture surface’s characteristics, influencing factors and design principles in consideration of natural environment features, regional culture features and social development features of cold regions.The design strategies of museum architecture surface in cold regions are proposed according to three aspects of cold region natural climate, regional context and cultural communication demand. Then the research selects classical instances of museum architecture in and abroad. And it bases on the foundation elements of architecture surface and explains the strategies in three aspects: surface consistency strategy which adapts to the natural climate, narration strategy corresponding to cold region context and interactive strategy which responses to communication needs in cold regions.The design methods of museum architecture surface in cold regions are proposed basing on surface design contents and design strategies above. The research explains the design methods in aspects of surface construction, material, texture and structure: multi-propose application in cold adaptation technologies, surface cultural connotation regionally presenting and multidimensional interaction of surface sensory experiences.All in all, the research of museum architecture surface in cold regions analyses in aspects of design resolution, design strategy and design method. It discusses the morphological characteristics and technological means of museum architecture surface in cold regions in the background of current era aiming to provide new theoretical support and practice guidelines for cold region architecture design in future.
