The design of Yanzhou museum is to create a space communicated with each other conducted smoothly from one exhibition area to another for visitors. A main exhibition space should be created for route and visual connection between exhibition spaces, which is atrium in our building's atrium. All three exhibitions floors are vertically connected. Landscape design concept of atrium stairs is from the spectacular flying staircase in Maiji Mountain, fusing Chinese historical elements as a clear reference to modern architectural design.

Architectural image of Yanzhou in the museum is a simple and elegant "floating roll”, using an abstract way to present the dragon figure on facade. According to ancient saying, the constellations in sky are corresponding to countries underground. By referencing ancient literatures and other records of ancient books, dragon is an ancient symbol of land. The dim sky light is introduced into exhibition area by using translucent appearance with light penetration.
