Referencing the protruding eaves of the country’s vernacular architecture, the site’s largest building is the museum of imperial kiln brick. Its internal space is divided into three parts: the abstraction of the palace; the production, transportation, and the use of jin zhuan, (the ‘golden bricks’); and the abstraction of the brick kiln. ‘The museum is neither a kiln nor an imperial court, but a contemporary public architecture that combines the embodiment of both,’ explains jiakun architects.
