As an entirety, Confucius Temple has greatly proved China’s planning ideas, and there even doesn’t exist any other ideas could be mentioned in the same breath with its sustained development in world history. — by Liang Sicheng “Chinese Sacred Place”

Qufu Museum of Ancient Architecture focuses on the culture and contemporaneity, and the relationship between technique and artistry based on today’s life. In the architecture space of 400m², it displays traditional Chinese architecture technique, and strives to perform as a bridge of “the past” and “the present” through modern manifestation of “being plentiful” and “being concrete”. By introspecting the traditional architecture technique, it presents a modern memory of the ancient architecture. The exhibition builds up a platform and window for the modern public for learning the knowledge of ancient architecture by presenting a lateral culture and historical information and a linear transformation of spatial form.

The original spaces are those old workshops in the fifties at Houzuo Street in Qufu city, which showed distribution features of fracture type in general. Such spaces have no circulation and poor function.

As Bernard Tschumi said, space is a kind of “activating event.” Space will no longer exist without narration and events. To a certain degree, space means the initial independent variable of events. Narrative space is not shown as the single liner structure but a bidirectional, integrated multi-dimensional media with temporality. Media is the information. The narrative theme of Qufu Historical Building Museum is “A Way of Success, a Light of Culture”. The exhibition is consist of there zones, they are history & culture, inheritance & craft and responsibility & mission, which present the origin, silence and boom progress with a rough outline based on the narration structure interspersed with comments. Historical information as well as narrative space contribute to the entire systemic structure.
