中國工作室open建筑建筑事務所（Open Architecture）公布了其在中國煙臺設計的一座太空博物館和體驗中心，它將像一個神秘的黑色物體出現在海濱公園中。

這座建筑被命名為“太空水晶”（Space Crystals），采用黑色光澤的外觀和琢面的石頭形狀，一端升起，指向大海。

open建筑事務所將這一設計描述為“一個外星物體神秘地降落在海濱公園的空地上”。

Chinese studio Open Architecture has revealed its design for a space museum and experience centre in Yantai, China, which will appear like a mysterious black object in an oceanfront park.
Named Space Crystals, the building will have a glossy black exterior and a faceted stone-like shape that rises at one end to point towards the ocean.
Open Architecture describes the design as "an extraterrestrial-looking object landed mysteriously in the clearing of a seaside park".

背漆玻璃（Back-painted glass）將覆蓋一半的外立面，而光伏玻璃（photovoltaic glass）將覆蓋朝南的外立面以產生足夠的太陽能為建筑的照明供電。

“根據制造商的計算，2520平方米左右的光伏玻璃的總輸出功率為 77 千瓦，”Open 建筑創始合伙人黃文菁在采訪中說�！霸陉柟獬渥愕臈l件下，這個功率基本可以滿足整棟建筑的日常照明需求�！�

Back-painted glass will cover half of the external facade, while photovoltaic glass will cover the south-facing facade to generate enough solar to power the building's lighting.
"The manufacturer has calculated that the total output power by the photovoltaic glass, around 2,520 square metres, is 77 kilowatts," Open Architecture founding partner Huang Wenjing told Dezeen.
"Under sunny conditions, this capacity is about enough for the general lighting requirement of the whole building."

游客將從南側的懸挑下方空間進入建筑，到達一個 20 米高的中庭，中庭的墻壁切面與建筑外觀如出一轍。

中庭將作為展覽空間，展示懸掛物品和數字投影，“致力于破解宇宙的奧秘”。

Visitors will enter the building on the south side underneath the rising cantilever, arriving at a 20-metre-high atrium with faceted walls that mirror the appearance of the exterior.
The atrium will be used as an exhibition space displaying hanging objects and digital projections "dedicated to deciphering the mysteries of the universe".

光線在多邊形表面上反射，將原本單一的白色平面渲染成無數深淺不一的灰色，隨著時間的推移和天氣的變化而發生微妙的變化。

博物館閉館時，可從側面入口進入劇院和咖啡廳。工作室設計了一個環繞中庭空間的坡道，通向上方的展覽空間，目的是讓參觀者有一種逐漸探索這座建筑的感覺。螺旋坡道的頂部將通向一個室外露臺，可以在露臺欣賞到附近的海景。

兩個多面體鋼制外殼將構成外部和內部結構，并通過樓板將兩個外殼連接起來。

"Light bounces around on the polygonal surfaces, rendering the otherwise monolithic white planes into countless shades of varying grey which subtly changes with the passing time and changing weather," said Open Architecture
A side entrance will provide access to a theatre and cafe when the museum is closed.
The studio designed a ramp encircling the atrium space that will lead to exhibition spaces above, intending to give visitors a sense of gradually exploring the building. The top of the spiral ramp will open onto an outdoor terrace with views of the nearby ocean.
Two polyhedral steel pipe shells will form the external and internal structures, which will be connected by the floor slabs.



憑借太空水晶獨一無二的外形，open建筑事務所旨在創建一個歡迎人們走進館內了解更多太空和宇宙知識的，與眾不同的博物館。

黃文菁說：“太空水晶設計的主要目標是創造一個有吸引力的建筑--海濱公園中半隱藏的一個驚喜，引起公眾的興趣，吸引人們通過身臨其境的展覽來探索宇宙的奧妙�！�

With Space Crystals' unique shape, Open Architecture aimed to create a distinctive museum that invites the public inside to learn more about space and the universe.
"The main goal for the Space Crystals design was to create an attractive building – a semi-hidden surprise in the seaside park that arouses the public's interest and draws people in to explore the wonders of the universe through immersive exhibitions," said Huang.

黃文菁補充說：“煙臺市是中國第一位女性太空行走者的故鄉--當地人對此深感自豪�！�

“人們，尤其是老一輩人，一直希望年輕一代能夠受到啟發和鼓勵，去了解和探索宇宙的未知�！�

"The city of Yantai is the hometown of the first female Chinese spacewalker – a fact that the locals are very proud of," she added.
"People, especially the older generations, have hoped that the younger generation will be inspired and encouraged to understand and explore the unknowns of the universe."



Space Crystals 計劃于 2026 年完工，是open建筑事務所為海濱公園制定的更大總體規劃的一部分。即將在煙臺建造的下一座建筑是Sea Square（海洋廣場），那將是一座位于碼頭上的方形圖書館兼社區建筑。

工作室說：“這兩座建筑形成了空間和時間的對話，一座指向天空，另一座指向大海，將現在、過去和未來連接在一起�！�

Planned to be completed in 2026, Space Crystals is part of Open Architecture's larger master plan for the seaside park. A second building set to be built on the site is Sea Square, a square-shaped library and community building on a dock.
"The two buildings form a dialogue in space and time, one pointing to the sky and the other to the sea, connecting current, past, and future," the studio said.
