武汉的钢铁工业是中国和世界的典范。在20世纪初，武汉是全国的中心，铁路连接全国各省。武汉的故事讲述的是它对未来的憧憬，它受到了独特的过去历史的启发。辛亥革命在1911年10月是一个非凡的时刻，它使张之洞开始的现代化和现代工业的推进具体化。

The steel industry in Wuhan was a model for China and the world. At the turn of the 20th century Wuhan was at the center of the nation connected by railroads to all the provinces of China. The story of the city of Wuhan is narrated by its aspirations for the future inspired by the unique history of the past. The Xinhai Revolution, in October, 1911, was a remarkable moment in that crystallized the modernization started by Zhang Zhidong and carried forward by modern industry.

张之洞与武汉现代工业博物馆，旨在平衡三个叙事主题，在一个综合的建筑和景观。博物馆三层楼的每一层都致力于一个主题：张之洞、工业和武汉市。博物馆最高的山峰可以俯瞰这座城市。博物馆的地板朝花园看，花园由辐射线和环形组成，连接着过去和未来。博物馆的地板和花园是由建筑形状的球形几何学统一起来的。该项目目前正在建设中。

The Zhang Zhidong and Modern Industrial Museum, in Wuhan, was designed to balance three narrative themes within an integrated building and landscape. Each of the three floors of the museum is committed to one theme; Zhang Zhidong, industry, and the city of Wuhan. The highest peak of the museum has a view toward the city. The museum floors look toward the garden which is composed of radiating lines and rings to connect past and future. The museum floors and the garden are united by the spherical geometry of the building form. The project is currently under construction.
