The Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Museum, designed by Studio Zhu-Pei, is a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity, seamlessly integrating into the surrounding landscape. The building’s most striking feature is its undulating roof, which mirrors the curves of the traditional Chinese ceramic kilns. This distinctive form not only serves as a visual reference to the kilns but also creates a dynamic and inviting space for visitors.
Located in a city renowned for its porcelain production, the Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Museum is positioned in close proximity to the ancient imperial kiln sites, which were once exclusive to the production of porcelain for the imperial court. The museum serves as a gateway for visitors to delve into the rich heritage of Jingdezhen’s ceramic industry, offering a captivating journey through time and artistry. The interior spaces of the museum are meticulously designed to exhibit and celebrate the exquisite porcelain artifacts, showcasing the evolution of ceramic techniques and styles throughout history.
