design scheme

In 2007, Donglan County invited public bidding for the construction of the Wei Baqun Memorial Hall. Nine design institutes participated in the competition. The architectural design and Research Institute of South China University of technology has designed ten works for selection. Among them, the scheme engraved with Wei Baqun's original words "happy career is like revolution" has won unanimous praise. The first choice is that the base of the memorial hall echoes with the elevation difference of the terrain in the form of slope, emphasizing the horizontal strength, symbolizing the foundation of revolution and the broad and firm revolutionary masses; the memorial tower highlights the base, forming a contrast between the vertical and horizontal of the base, highlighting the strong and powerful of the memorial tower, symbolizing the loftiness and greatness of Comrade Wei Baqun. The memorial tower is made of white marble, which symbolizes the purity and noble quality of revolutionary heroes; the other three sides of the tower are engraved with triangular holes, which symbolizes the spark; there are four small square towers around the memorial tower, which can not only highlight the towering and huge of the memorial tower through comparison, but also symbolize that the revolutionary masses closely surround and unite around Comrade Wei Baqun, and the revolutionary masses will always be revolutionized by Wei Baqun The guidance and encouragement of life spirit.

After the review of relevant experts and Donglan county leaders, it is considered that the design scheme of Wei Baqun Memorial Hall submitted by the architectural design and Research Institute of South China University of technology has accurate positioning, novel design concept, clear functional zoning, reasonable traffic organization, distinctive architectural design features, good environmental landscape design and strong operability, and the planning content and depth basically meet the design requirements. The same is true We are willing to implement it. According to the design, the total building area of the museum is 6145 square meters, and the building is divided into two parts: the base and the glass tower. The glass tower is 38 meters high and stands out from the base, symbolizing the commemoration of Comrade Wei Baqun who died at the age of 38. The outer part of the tower makes use of the transparent characteristics of glass to reveal that the 13 translucent gauze films inside the tower are arranged in order, and the shape of the films is like a blooming hero flower. The 13 films symbolize Comrade Wei Baqun's 13 years of revolution, and the 13 films are combined to form an endless revolutionary flame. The Architectural Design Institute of South China University of technology is one of the well-known design institutes in China. It is one of the three design institutes in Donglan county that participated in the bidding after the national open bidding design conditions. In order to make the memorial hall design distinctive, the county has successively held an expert review meeting in Nanning and solicited the opinions of relevant people in the district and city. The design scheme was formed after the design institute passed several modifications.
