不只是博物馆 | MORE THAN A MUSEUM

在圆满完成了2010年上海世博会德国馆后不久，建筑事务所playze和Schmidhuber又再次联手，赢得了宁波市城市展览馆的竞标。在竞标成功的八年后，这座博物馆终于落成，并于前不久正式向公众开放。宁波市城市展览馆位于新开发的“宁波东部新城”的中心地段，毗邻着市政厅和市政广场。

Shortly after the successful collaboration for the German Pavilion at the Expo 2010 in Shanghai, the two practices playze and Schmidhuber joined forces again to win the invited competition for the Ningbo Urban Planning Exhibition Center. Eight years later the construction has been completed and the center opened to the public. It is located at the heart of the newly built “Ningbo Eastern New Town” adjacent to the city hall and the civic square.

随着城市的迅速发展，很多大城市都出现了一种特殊的展览馆——“城市规划博物馆”，以便于向公众展示城市发展在现阶段已经取得的成就。宁波市城市展览馆并不只是一个展览空间，它更为城市化进程中的所有利益相关者提供了一个聚集地。它将市民、儿童、城市规划方面的专业人士、专业学者、公务员和政府人员等对空间的需求结合在了一起，在城市新区内创造出一个引人入胜的公共空间，从而促进了市民与城市管理者之间的对话。

Prompted by surging urban growth in many of the nation’s larger cities, the specific typology “urban planning museum” has been invented to present achievements in urban planning and development to the public. The Ningbo Urban Planning Exhibition Center is supposed to be more than just a simple presentation space. It shall be a forum for all stakeholders of the urbanization process. It combines programs for interested citizens, children, planning professionals, academics, civil servants and government members. The goal was to create an engaging, accessible public space in the new district, and thereby foster the dialogue between citizens and decision-makers.

连续的景观空间 | A CONTINUOUS LANDSCAPE

为了强调该展览中心的公共属性，设计团队在其周围设置了一系列连续的水景，使其成为了城市公园中不可或缺的一部分。步道、桥和街道相互交织，将前来参观的游客引至建筑的各个入口。此时，公园和建筑之间的界限变得模糊起来。
