a countryside site
drying the rice on a warm concrete roadMuzej kamnitih skulptur se nahaja v okoliskem podezelju Chengduja. Transport in samo lociranje te posebnosti, za katero se lahko navdusi le arhitekt...sta trajala 3 ure in pol! Muzej je privaten, last gospoda Gadave, zbirka je za enega zbiratelja...bogata! Odprli so ga samo za naju...paznik nama je sproti odklepal stavbe...in tudi pazil...da jaz ne bi fotografirala...ja sevede! Ga je prijatelj zamotil sem pa tja...Menda so poleg povabljencev edini obcasni obiskovalci muzeja le arhitekti :D
Lociran je sred prave dezele... v nasadu bambusa...in je res impresiven! Vse skupaj spremlja glasen zvok tukajsnjih skrzatov, ki so priblizno tako grdi kot jadranski...pa cca enkrat vecji pa dvakrat bolj glasni (ja....tut to je mozno!) Tako da ima celotem vtis tudi posebno zvocno zaveso. Seveda godejo cisto svojo vizo!
Moj prijatelj YB je bil z vsakim prevozenim kilometrom proti dezeli boljse volje, ker mu tako okolje sede in se se vedno spominja, da je bil novejsi kampus Chengduja, kjer je on bival...v tistih cajtih sredi prav take dezele. Danes....je ze lepo na obrobju mesta 😊
The museum is unknown and hard to find! No locals of the Pi county (west of Chengdu) would know about it, so with YB we were sent to a wrog place
rice drying
....simple as that! at first. It took us about 3.5 hours to locate it...and it's supposed to be 'just out of town'. Thanx to his good friends again, we could get the phone number of the institution and the directions to the city-wise remote area. As we went further away...my friend was in a better mood with every KM that passed, cause it was a proper sichuan countryside that we were entering...rice fields, bamboo growes...and a very special sound atmosphere!
They opened the museum especially for us, so the guard was literally unlocking and locking up behind us each of the pavilions. He also tried to keep an eye on me cause...NO PHOTOS met my mini camera at the entrance....yea right! YB kept him busy talking some of the times...and since the guard told him, that besides some VIP guests the only occasional visitors would be groups of architecture students some of the weekends...I think we all know that is was clear to this guy ...that photos were indeed being taken! Just not as many as one would like...and the angles....were maybe not all that one would otherwise wish to take.
Museum is a private institution...housing...I suppose...mr Gadava's private collection of
country side
taking care of the drying rice various stone buddist statues acquired in years on from the southwest Chinese provinces, all somehow connected to the anicent silk road going trough here on two major routes.
The way the buildings are layed out among the bamboo bushes...is just amazing! Nature plays an important building factor. The other amazing thig is the use of light. The building masses are arranged in a way...that all the lights you actually can see in the photos...would only need to be used at night...cause all the light present....is all natural! Also....for my fellow architect (and all other engineer) friends: concrete is top of the class. Using wood surface structure on the walls and bamboo wowen surface structure on the ceilings. A nice pattern formed here as well.
It is clear in an instant, why it is also featured in a book of best contemporary chinese architectural projects. Definately worth a visit...if one is an architect! But still...I know that the visit was also interesting for my non architect friend.
