概况

Overview

无锡梅里遗址博物馆坐落在梅里古镇内，西侧是悠悠千载泰伯庙，北侧是流淌不息伯渎河。在古镇建设中发现的商周时期梅里遗址像是注定要在这里，为“泰伯奔吴”、“江南肇端”的故事做出一个穿越千年的注脚。于是，这处因地段所限而仅有不到两千平方米的小馆，自始至终，都紧紧围绕讲好吴地起源故事的核心而展开设计。

Wuxi Meli Site Museum is located in the ancient town of Meili, with the millennia-old Taibo Temple sitting on its west side and Bodu River flowing on the north side. The Meili site unearthed during the ancient town development dates back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties. It seems to be destined to add a footnote to the stories of “Taibo Running to Wu” and “the Beginning of Jiangnan” through thousands of years. The design of the project, which is less than 2,000 square meters due to its location, has therefore, from start to finish, centered around telling the founding story of Wu culture.

共生

Symbiosis

这处为商周时期遗址而建的无锡梅里遗址博物馆，本身位于城市建成区，又是身处建设中的仿明清风格商业街镇之中，其建筑设计走向尤为值得探讨：造型风格是远追先秦，还是近仿明清？功能设定是以历史展览为主，还是要融入商业街巷？以及，一处紧邻河岸的遗址，当与现在社区化的日常生活如何并置？

The Wuxi Meili Site Museum, built for the archaeological site of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, is situated in an urban built-up area and amongst archaized commercial buildings of the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is particularly worth exploring which direction the architectural design should head towards: should the style of the museum imitate the pre-Qin period or match the Ming and Qing dynasties? Should the main function of the museum be historic exhibitions or commercial activities as a part of the district? Furthermore, how should the ancient site adjacent to the riverbank be integrated into modern community-based everyday life?
