Design And Construction Of The Digital Sci&Tech Museum Of Wood Aesthetics

In this paper,architectures and functions of modem science and technology museums have been investigated and analyzed comprehensively.The general project of the Digital Sci&Tech Museum of Wood Aesthetics was outlined on the basis of results from the investigation and analysis.Firstly,the exterior profile and interior space of the Digital Sci&Tech Museum of Wood Aesthetics were worked out after an overall reconstruction to the original building of the Jinyuan international town’s sales department in Lingshan county of Guangxi.Then,achievements gained by wood aesthetics team of Guangxi University in theory research and products development were organized and classified,and on the principles beneficial to popularizing and advertising wood aesthetic knowledge and achievements,visiting sequence of the museum has been organized,and the interior space was divided into seven showrooms including:room of wood specimen,room of wood aesthetics popularization,room of wall-paintings,room of fabric art,room of porcelain art,room of high technology products and room to feel wood aesthetics of daily life.The exhibition contents and display methods,facilities and environment of these showrooms were projected and designed specifically.Next,web-page code of the Digital Sci&Tech Museum of Wood Aesthetics were programmed with the languages of Html5,CSS3 and Javascript etc.,and website platform of the Digital Sci&Tech Museum of Wood Aesthetics were constructed on the basis of Wordpress content management system.Meanwhile,all the display contents of the showrooms were digitally processed,upload and published on the Internet,and the Digital Sci&Tech Museum of Wood Aesthetics were built up with comparatively abundant content and functions.Finally,with the help of 360°panoramic technology,the site visiting experience of the Digital Sci&Tech Museum of Wood Aesthetics was realized with 360° virtual reality.The following conclusions and understandings were achieved after finishing the design and research of this project.(1)Although the digital museum of sci.and tech.is a virtual space on the Internet,the construction content in such virtual space must be existed solidly.Otherwise,it is impossible to build a virtual museum with scientific programme,reasonable design,abundant contents and complete functions.(2)The architecture and interior design of this project was based on the Jinyuan international town’s sales department,and this doubled the results with half effort.With a steel-frame structure,the building of the Jinyuan international town’s sales department can be easily reconstructed,and with a suitable space volume,the building can meet the functions and space requirements of the wood aesthetics museum.(3)Design methods used in this project,such as contrast in empty and solid,exaggeration at local points and special component setting,played important roles in exterior design of the wood aesthetics museum.As for the interior space arrangement of the museum,this project followed the principle of separating the quiet area from the noisy area and the principle of visitor’s lines priority,and in this way,the interior space was arranged more reasonable and efficient.(4)The display content and the visiting sequence of this project were arranged according to the logical order of wood aesthetics popularization,and this is in favor of organic connections of each showroom contents and is conductive in helping the audience gradually know,deeply understand and stimulate interests of wood aesthetics knowledge step by step.(5)The design of interior and exterior decoration and display environment of the Digital Sci&Tech Museum of Wood Aesthetics in this project was strongly connected with the display contents,and this perfectly highlighted the exhibition theme of wood aesthetics and is beneficial to atmosphere creation for wood aesthetics popularization.(6)The space management system(CMS)possesses the basic functions to build a website of science and technology museum,and the dynamic website template used in Wordpress system can be designed by combined using the computer languages of Html5,CSS3 and Javascript.(7)The panoramic pictures,with length-width ratio of 2:1,can be manufactured beautifully with the dome camera in 3D max system,and the panoramic interactive system of each showroom can be build by putting these panoramic pictures into panorama system.In the panorama interactive system,360° virtual reality panoramic visit can be achieved by dragging the mouse in every direction.(8)With comparatively abundant contents,complete functions,advanced technologies,and convenient backstage management and maintenance system,the Digital Sci&Tech Museum of Wood Aesthetics built in this project reached the expected goal.The achievements of this project could be a good foundation for the construction of a solid wood aesthetics museum of sci.&tech.,and could provide a reference for constructions of similar digital museum with other exhibition themes.After its publication on the Internet,the Digital Sci&Tech Museum of Wood Aesthetics could be expected to play an active role in popularizing wood aesthetics and extending its products application.
