寺中之馆

A museum hidden in a temple

祖山木佛博物馆位于秦皇岛祖山风景区济心寺，是一座特殊的寺庙博物馆。济心寺的历史可追溯至宋代，它于半山之上远眺着城市与渤海，遗世而独立，是祖山风景区重要的旅游节点。现状寺院于2002年原址重建，寺院整体坐西向东、依山而建，形成三进院布局，博物馆就坐落在寺庙建筑群的最后一进。当游客穿过大雄宝殿的回廊，可看到立于高台之上的三座大殿，分别为观心阁、药师殿及弥陀殿，即是木佛展陈的场馆。

The Wood Buddha Statue Museum is located at Ji Xin Monastery in Zushan Scenic Area of Qinghuang dao City. With a history dating back to the Song dynasty (960-1279), the temple nestles half way up the mountain, overlooking the city and Bohai Sea like a hermit. As a major tourist spot of Zushan Scenic Area, the existing temple was rebuilt on its original site in 2002. Facing eastwards, the temple complex unfolds across the mountain terrain, forming a spatial layout in three courtyards. The museum is located at the back courtyard. As visitors navigate through a corridor of the temple’s main hall, they will see three halls standing on top of a high platform: the Guanxin Hall, the Hall of Medicine Buddha and the Hall of Amitabha Buddha, which are venues for the wood Buddha statue museum.

作为博物馆的主要展品，香樟木佛的来历颇有渊源，原是日本收藏家赴浙江东阳定制的木佛雕像。佛像在日本辗转几十年，业主将其全部购回，并在反复思虑后，决定将其落户在祖山济心寺安置。改造之后的博物馆将成为传统寺庙功能的补充，在这里，人们可以祈福静心，可以观赏雕刻艺术，也可以冥想禅修，感知中华文化的智慧和哲学。新的空间为游客提供更为丰富、多层次的寺庙游览体验。

The camphor wood Buddha statues are major exhibits of the museum. They hold an intriguing origin story as they were originally commissioned from Dongyang, Zhejiang Province by a Japanese collector. Over the course of several decades, these statues changed hands among different owners in Japan until the client decided to buy them back to China. After careful consideration, he decided to find them a new home at Ji Xin Monastery. Through space renovation, the museum has provided extra functions to the traditional temple. It has become a sacred space for prayer and inner reflection, a place to appreciate the artistry of sculpture, a sanctuary for meditation, and a venue to immerse oneself in the wisdom and philosophy of Chinese culture. The transformed space provides visitors with a diverse and enriching journey during their temple visit.

由于大雄宝殿与木佛博物馆之间有近十米左右的高差，原始场地中存有一处高陡突兀的台阶连接上下，台阶中部立有一尊观音石雕立像。此处作为游人进入木佛博物馆的重要的前序空间，也一并考虑在本次设计更新的工作之中。

A significant elevation difference of nearly 10 meters separates the main hall and the wood Buddha museum, which are connected by an existing steep stairway on the site. In the middle of the stairway stands a stone Guanyin statue, marking a significant area that visitors pass through before they reach the museum. Thus, this area has also been involved in the renovation project.

新的设计在延续寺庙中轴线以及保留观音石雕立像的前提下，对现有前区景观进行改造提升。为了加强进入博物馆的仪式感，前区景观被设定为“云台”，结合场地的高差条件，围绕中心台阶展开高度不一的七层水洗石阶梯平台。设计同时扩大了观音立像所在的休息平台，并将台阶的坡度适当放缓，以便于人的行走与停留。云台以柔美的曲线形态宛如祖山云雾逐层漫延开来，平台之上附有喷雾设施、草坪以及点景松树。当游客穿过不断变幻的水雾之云拾级而上，心情也逐渐平静下来，三座大殿才慢慢显露其真身。

The new design encompasses enhancement of the landscape of the front area, on the premise of preserving the temple’s central axis and the Guanyin statue. To enhance the ceremonial experience before entering the museum, the front area landscape has been conceptualized as a "cloud terrace". Leveraging the varying elevations of the terrain, the architects created seven sets of exposed aggregate concrete platforms on either side of the central steps, each differing in height. Furthermore, the design team has extended the area where the Guanyin statue stands and gently sloped the steps to ensure visitor convenience and comfort. The cloud terrace features an exquisite curving form, reminiscent of rippling mists encircling Zushan Mountain. Sprayers, a lawn, and pine trees adorn the platform. As visitors ascend the steps enveloped in ever-changing mist, they’ll gain a sense of tranquility before the three halls finally reveal themselves.

殿中之塔

用于集中展陈木佛像的主殿是一座框架结构的仿宋式建筑，大殿面宽30米，进深16.8米，殿内设有两层环廊及楼梯，围合出中部挑空高度近20米的高大空间。如何结合不同尺度的木佛造像营造多层次的展陈体验，并能够适配旧有佛殿有限的空间，创造可观、可游的当代精神性场所，是本次设计考虑的首要问题。

The main hall for centrally exhibiting the Buddha statues is a Song-style building with a frame structure. It has a width of 30 meters and a depth of 16.8 meters. Two ring corridors situated on different levels, along with a stairway, enclose an area with a high ceiling of nearly 20 meters in the center of the hall. The primary consideration of the design is how to create a varying exhibition experience for visitors with wood Buddha statues of different sizes, while accommodating to the limited space of the original hall and turning it into a modern spiritual destination that’s worth visiting.

设计借鉴了“塔”这一建筑原型，在大殿中创造了一座空心佛塔，作为立体展陈木佛造像的主要载体。佛塔平面呈椭圆形，共七层，逐层向上收束，汇聚于矩形的佛殿空间顶端。佛塔内部以曼陀罗作为意向。曼陀罗意为坛场，即一切圣贤、功德的聚集之所，代表了佛教文化的宇宙模型。

The design borrows from the architectural prototype of “pagoda”, creating a hollow Buddha pagoda in the center of the hall as the main carrier for a vertical exhibition of wood Buddha statues. Appearing oval in floor plan, the pagoda has seven layers that grow narrower upwards to meet at the square ceiling of the hall. The interior of the pagoda borrows the imagery of Mandala, a consecrated area where all the sages and men of virtues are brought together and a symbol of universe in Buddhism.

佛塔首层以6米高的四面千手观音的坐像为中心，周边错叠环绕30尊观音化身立像。结合佛像的尺度和位置设置了特定的佛龛——拱洞开口，以及由塔身延伸出的花瓣形底座来承托木佛。

On the first layer of the pagoda, a thousand-hand Guanyin statue sits in the center, surrounded by 30 varying Guanyin statues arranged in a staggered manner. Specific shrines are set up based on the scales and positions of the Buddha statues. Each with an arched opening, the shrines provide home to the statues situated on petal-shaped pedestals.

佛塔在五至七层集中展示圣观音造像。第五层中心位置为两尊圣观音的坐像。为了突出中心感和悬空感，设计采用张弦梁结构，并辅以莲花座等装饰杆件，在塔身内部形成一层涟漪扩散的景观。最小的圣观音像被置于第六、七层，匹配制作了枝叶般的金属支架展陈。塔的顶端结束于层层退晕的光线。至此，当游人于塔内驻足观赏，如花瓣般的佛座层层汇集于顶端的一处光明，万象森列、圆融有序，构建出崇高、无尽、深远的禅境。

Most of the Guanyin statues are exhibited on the fifth to seventh layer of the pagoda, and two Arya-avalo Kitesvara statues sit in the center of the fifth layer. To highlight a sense of centrality and suspension, the design adopts a beam string structure and ornaments such as lotus-shaped pedestals, to create a visual effect of ripples spreading within the pagoda. The smallest Guanyin statues are placed on the sixth and seventh floor with specially crafted metal frames that look like tree branches. The top of the pagoda culminates in layers of fading light. As visitors linger and admire inside the pagoda, they’ll find petal-shaped pedestals gather all the way to a well-lighted place on the top. Everything is arranged in an orderly and harmonious manner, creating a sublime, boundless and profound Zen ambience.

佛塔也催生了转塔这一具备祈福意味的环游路径。将已有建筑改造为首层、夹层环廊和顶层三个可以供人游走的平台，形成立体环游路径。首层塔身外侧书写有金刚经，可在转塔过程中细细品味。同时在首层大殿左右两侧设置了6尊观音化身立像供人祭拜。原有楼梯被适当的改造，将游人引向顶层。

The pagoda offers visitors the opportunity to engage in a circumambulation, a path that provides prayer experience. The renovation also includes the transformation of three platforms that allow visitors to walk around. These platforms consist of a ground-floor ring corridor, a mezzanine-floor ring corridor, and a top-floor platform, creating a vertical circulation pattern. On the exterior walls of the pagoda's first layer, the Diamond Sutra is inscribed, providing visitors with the opportunity to contemplate the teachings of the sutra as they circumambulate the pagoda. Additionally, six standing Guanyin statues are positioned on both sides of the first layer of the hall for visitors to worship. The original stairway has been modified to guide visitors to the top floor.

设计围绕流线设置五处投影，分别展示观音手势、观音四大修行地等内容，进一步丰富游客的观览体验。顶层为11米高的环形平台，这里是最高点，可以俯瞰远山。

Along the circulation route, five projection positions are set to showcase content related to the gestures and the four sites where Guanyin practiced for Buddhism, enhancing the overall visiting experience. At the highest point of the pagoda, there is a circular platform with an 11-meter-high ceiling, allowing visitors to enjoy a panoramic view of the distant mountains.

室内环境照明也做了相应的匹配设计。在自然光较暗的环境中，人工照明才能更好地营造出空间的静谧感。建筑外侧玻璃上粘贴了透光率为9％的透光膜，减少自然光量进入。塔身全部采用隐藏式照明，用灯光勾勒出建筑的结构美感。

The interior ambient lighting is carefully tailored to the specific environment. Artificial lighting can better create a sense of tranquility only in an environment with limited natural light. To control the amount of natural light entering the building, a translucent film with a transmittance of 9% is applied to the exterior glass surfaces. The pagoda's structural beauty is accentuated through the use of concealed lighting, which illuminates the building's form.

塔尖的穹顶设置了三层灯槽，灯槽的颜色逐层变浅，从而营造出渐变的向上的感觉。设计团队在仓库中做了多轮照射角度、光束大小、照度和距离的测试实验，最终保证每一尊佛像均有较好的照明效果。

At the dome of the pagoda, three layers of lighting troughs are installed, with each layer gradually transitioning to a lighter color. This arrangement creates an upward transition of lighting effect. To ensure optimal lighting effects for each Buddha statue, the design team conducted extensive testing in a warehouse, taking into account various factors such as illumination perspective, beam size, illuminance, and distances.

博物馆两侧的耳殿被定义为讲经堂，是博物馆公共教育活动的重要补充。设计利用了耳殿建筑近 11 米的高度特点，在靠近天花的位置悬置四面发光经文金属板，并利用镜面反射材料进一步拔高了空间，营造出亦真亦幻、颇具未来感的艺术空间氛围。四周墙体均为暗色吸音板，为讲经堂营造了良好的光学与声学环境，补足了博物馆的功能和精神属性。

The side halls in the museum are designated as Sutra Halls, playing a crucial role in the museum's public education activities. The design capitalizes on the height of these halls, approximately 11 meters, by installing luminous metal boards adorned with inscribed sutras that hang around the hall and reach close to the ceiling. The use of mirror-surfaced materials creates an elevated ambience within the space, and imbues it with an otherworldly, futuristic sense of art. Additionally, the walls are constructed with sound-absorbing panels, optimizing the lighting and audio conditions of the lecture hall, while further augmenting the museum's functionality and spiritual essence.
