Located in Beijing’s Shougang Park, the building combines a museum with a ferris wheel to provide a different perspective on the giant plants of the last century. These plants are undoubtedly huge from a human point of view, but on the same level with us by standing on the shoulders of the giants.
Used to be China’s first large-scale steel mill, Shougang Park now has been transformed into a new industrial park covering parks, shopping malls and other service industries. On the site as the witness and a silhouette of the times, several factories and abandoned industrial products are remained, but with no important monumental building. A museum in the center of the park is built to better present the past as well as future of Shougang Park.
The venue is fully functional, including offices, leisure, entertainment, commerce, hotels, etc. The overall development is complete and the infrastructure on the site is well constructed.
HOWEVER: first,the site lacks a commanding height, so people often view these huge industrial heritage from an upward angle. Therefore, it is difficult for people to find A SUITABLE ANGLE to see the entire building.In addition, areas with strong historical and cultural attributes lack MUSEUMLIKE BUILDINGS to tell local historical stories.
Therefore, the project should consider both the centrality of the museum and the viewing angle of the exhibition.

BUILDING DETAILS
FROM THE OUTSIDE TO THE INSIDE SITE
Following the pedestrian bridge to view the entire park from a human perspective can only be disturbed by various types of obstructions. It is difficult for residents to view their environment from an overall perspective. And because of the difference in size, these old factories are inevitably It has a strong sense of oppression in people's hearts. But these will change according to changes in its altitude.
The overall structure of the exhibition hall inside the building still adopts a steel structure, which fits the original site. In the outdoor exhibition area, the internal space height is greater than 7M, which can realize a temporary 2-story exhibition hall.
THE FLOWING SPHERE
The small balls on the Ferris wheel are at different heights and directions, allowing you to see the surrounding environment from different angles. You can appreciate the original old factory from a straight-up perspective and look at these remnants ( ' big pearl' ) of the last century from a full perspective.
