Ciyn Pagoda Museum is a museum dedicated to the restored pagoda in the Chinese city of Ganzhou.to The pagoda is situated in a former religious area in the old town of Ganzhou and dates back to 1023 it burned down in 1906 and was restored in 2004. During the cultural revolution, some of the temples and hutong areas that existed around the pagoda were demolished and replaced with educational facilities and the area around the pagoda was used as a schoolyard.
This project has aimed to re-generate the area around the pagoda creating a cultural destination in the area. Part of the project was understanding how the area related to the city's historical fabric and how the old streets could be re-activated with a larger structure.
My design acts as a secondary player to the pagoda. The museum consists of a low brick building with three gardens in different heights leading visitors to the pagoda. The first garden is a water garden, leading up to a stone garden that finally leads to the pagoda garden. The museum is dedicated to the pagoda, temple area and the relics found and saved in the pagoda.
