StefanoBoeriArchitetti, a world-known architectural planning firm, has recently shown off the master plan of the Culture CBD Modern Technology Experience Center of Xi'an City, China. This world-class museum is expected to change the cultural sphere of this ancient town. We are convinced that the museum, being a winner of a renowned competition, will introduce harmony between ancient heritage and modern innovations in the science exploration field and culture field, with the positive result of being creative and enriching.
Embracing Xi'an's Heritage
As the capital of Shaanxi province, Xi'an draws the visitor with remarkable historical heritage which goes as far. As unique as the history and the archetype of nature are in this city, they have made us see the essential elements like the environment and connectivity of a city. To make these dwellable, we have come up with a pedestrian-friendly design.

Architectural Representation
The museum architecture design represents the symbiotic relationship featuring a north façade replicating the shapes of nature and the south facade, covered by materials designed for urban durability. The initiative of the architect StefanoBoeri is to see it as a drive for urban revitalization and a symbol for different profiles of people, including experts in technology, to students and families.
One of the Xi'an Mmuseum's characteristic features is terrace rooftop garden-level landscapes similar to the ancient hanging gardens, which connect seamlessly to the nearby park. The terraces provide an unrepeatable viewpoint of the city and serve as locations where artists showcase their performances and activities. The green landscape, which is made of a diversity of plants similar to the scenery of China, will be an eco-friendly contribution and the main point of the beautiful green roof to the world heritage.
Inside, the museum is thoughtfully organized into four main parts: permanent exhibitions that serve as its heart are supplemented by intermittent exhibits on the one hand, and supplies like leaflets, gifts, and others on the other. The dominant element in the building composition is a central atrium, positioned on the first floor as the artistic center of the museum. The height of the space, which allows easy and barrier-free movement, expands the accessibility of visitors to all levels of the museum. The feel of the interior is colored, independent of its brightness, with deep blue hues sympathetic to vibrant electronics and design work. The museum embodies this primary red by incorporating it in every public exhibition or signage space to develop a visual mark for the museum.
YiboXu, Partner of StefanoBoeriArchitetti China, supports the museum's determination to be a multimedia and digital production workshop, taking it as the vanguard for expanding the audiovisual languages within the exhibition scenes. The museum is planning on creating a new notion of art and culture based on technology and virtual experiences, which will bring exciting and new ways of entertaining visitors.
Catalyst for Urban Renewal
Besides its architectural potency, the Xi'an Museum aims to be a stimulatory factor for healthy urban renewal, an agent of improvement, and a source of positive local sentiment in the surrounding area. Through its merger of cultural heritage, advanced technologies, and sustainable environment, the Museum of the Future indicates that Xi'an will be a better place for the present generation and the coming generations.
In conclusion, the Xi'an Culture CBD Modern Technology Experience Center complex by StefanoBoeriArchitetti paves the way to a new era of cultural education and urban makeovers. The museum aims to integrate both old and new knowledge by showing the connections between contemporaneous design patterns and ancient beliefs. It can be a source of inspiration for ages.
