博物馆位于该地区的核心位置，音乐厅位于东侧南北轴线对称的位置，西面规划大型住宅区，南为行政中心，北为图书馆和美术馆。所有独特的文化建筑构成了未来城市设计的新文化中心，因此，博物馆的建设在未来迈出了重要的第一步。

The museum is located in the core position of this area, where the music hall lies symmetrically along the north-south axis in the east, and where the large residential area is in planning in the west; to the south is the administrative center, and to the north are the library and the art gallery. All the distinctive cultural buildings compose the new cultural center of the future urban design, therefore, the construction of the museum takes a first significant step in the future.

建筑设计继承了大同深厚的历史文化，建筑形式从龙图腾文化中汲取灵感。同时与大同地区典型的火山地貌特征相吻合。在中庭虚荣心周围盘旋的两个弧形尺寸，在一个统一的圆形结构内转变成几个部分，为内部展区引入了光和风景。

The architectural design inherits the profound historical culture in Datong, while the architectural form draws inspiration from the long dragon totem culture. It coincides with the typical topographic features of volcanoes in Datong at the same time. Two grainy arc dimensions hovering around the vanity of the atrium, within a unified circling structure changing into several sections, introduced light and scenery for the internal exhibition area.

而以内部展示空间为主体，随着非线性形态的变化，使观众仿佛走进了一个深邃的洞穴，强大而强大的建筑形式最终直接暴露出来。通过进一步结合强硬词汇的代码，我们试图使建筑更加强大和有意义。

While the internal exhibition space as the main part changed along with the nonlinear form, makes the viewer as if go into a deep cave, the powerful and strong architectural form directly exposed in the end. By further combining with the code of the tough words, we tried to make the building more powerful and meaningful.

该建筑的三维表面由搭接花岗岩板覆盖，同样的石材也扩展到圆形水池墙。压片的色差从下到上呈随机变化，锚固的波动效应增强了施工现场和整个当地环境的精神。

The three-dimensional surface of the architecture was covered by lap granite slabs, with the same stone material spreading to the circular pool wall as well. Tablets having a subtle color difference changed randomly from bottom to the top, and the effect of fluctuation of anchoring strengthened the construction site and the spirit of the whole local environment.
