Features: A museum is an important indicator of a country's economic development level and social civilization. In recent years, due to China's rapid economic growth, museum construction has been forming the second peak since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Based on an in-depth study of the cultural, artistic, and functional requirements of museum architecture, this book explores methods for designing museum buildings by examining the characteristics of museum architecture and analyzing numerous outstanding domestic and international museum design cases. The main content includes: the definition, functions, and classification of museums; the site selection, creative and conceptual approaches to architectural design; the basic composition, functions, and circulation of museum buildings; the overall layout, floor plan design, spatial design, and lighting environment design of museum buildings; museum exhibitions, architectural form design, expansion design, and 55 classic domestic and international cases. The book is richly illustrated, with clear and comprehensive explanations, making it suitable as a textbook for architectural design courses in higher education institutions or reference material for related disciplines. It can also be used as a reference for architectural design researchers, museum management personnel, and infrastructure management personnel.
