每个人都曾经在自己母亲的子宫中生活过280天。

所以我们没有什么理由，

因为我们曾经生活旅行过的地方而感到困扰。

Everybody has lived in their mother’s uterus for 280 days.

So there is no reason for us to be bothered by the places we travelled and lived.

在国内，性文化一直是人们羞于去探讨的话题，国内的性教育更是寥寥可数，而性教育的观点输出也频出误点。一年前设计团队收到了这样一个设计任务：于彭祖山景区之上的性文化展馆设计。彭祖通过房中术、导引术、膳食术实现长寿养生，其中生命之源性文化展馆侧重介绍了彭祖关于房中术的研究及相关性教育科普。

怎么样的性文化展馆能够吸引人们去了解？哈佛归国女性设计师张颖认为，性文化展馆应通过艺术的表达去向人们普及性文化教育及生命教育，让性文化教育展厅不再是成为一个人们拒而避之的场所，而是人们可以如同参观一件艺术品一般，在游走的同时了解相关文化知识。

In China, sex culture has always been a topic that people are ashamed to discuss. Sex education in China is deficient; and the output of sex education is usurally wrong. A year ago the design team was given the task of designing a sexual culture museum in pengzu Mountain. Peng Zu realized longevity and health

preservation through chamber technique, guiding technique and dietary technique. The culture hall of the Origin of life focuses on peng Zus research on chamber technique and related education and popular science.

What kind of sexual culture museum can attract people to learn about it? Ying Zhang who designed this museum, an architect and interior designer who graduated from Harvard, said the sex culture exhibition hall should popularize sex culture education and life education to people through artistic expression, so that the sex culture education exhibition hall is no longer a place that people refuse to avoid, but people can look like a piece of art.

人类躯体中的曲线是生命之源整个空间构成的灵感来源，提取我们身体中伸展，曲折，起伏的关系代入到空间，演变出一面面独特而别具特色，如同雕塑一般别具美感的三维曲面墙体。

The curve in the human body is the source of life and the inspiration of the whole space composition. The design team extracted the stretching, zigzagging and undulating relations in the body into the space, and evolved a unique and distinctive three-dimensional curved wall with aesthetic feeling just like sculpture.

在生命之源性文化展馆的整个前厅造型设计上，通过两条曲面造型的楼梯贯穿整个前厅，一条蜿蜒向上，一条顺延向下，两条楼梯于前厅视角中交织在一起，正寓意着两性中男性与女性角色。他们相互独立，却又相互平等，两者相望。

In the design of the whole vestibule of the Origin of Life Culture Museum, the design team runs through the whole vestibule through two curved staircases, one winding up and the other descending. The two staircases are intertwined in the perspective of the vestibule, implying male and female roles in both genders. They are facing each other independently, yet equally.

在整个展馆的设计过程中，不仅限于对空间造型的研究，更是对于整个性文化历史过程进行了深入挖掘。 长久以来，女性的性行为一直遭受到无尽的误解和谴责，甚至被“妖魔化”成用以控制女性身体和思想的手段，于对整个历史性文化的研究中，我们也看到很多类似“贞洁牌坊”这样对女性的不平等约束。性文化的发展反映了社会生活中男女关系的变化，随著女性力量的崛起，越来越多人认识到了其实我们每个人都应该有享受安全、舒适和满意性行为及性快感的权利。从认识性、讨论性再到享受性，社会应该平等看待每位女性都是独立的个体，并不是男人的附属品，生命之源性文化展厅科普性文化教育其中很关键的一点就是性别平等，也就是生命平等。我们的性教育需要这样正确传达给大众：性是男女之间的事，没有高低尊卑之分。

In the design process of the exhibition hall, the design team is not only limited to the study of space modeling, but also for the whole process of sexual culture and history. They found such a phenomenon: for a long time, the female sexual behavior has been subjected to endless misunderstandings and condemnation, even be demonised into to control means of female body and mind, in the study of the historic culture. We also see a lot of like chastity memorial arch of womens inequality constraints. The development of sexual culture reflects the changes in the relationship between men and women in social life. With the rise of womens power, more and more people realize that each of us should have the right to enjoy safe, comfortable and satisfying sexual behavior and pleasure. From the understanding of sex, discussion of sex to enjoy sex, society should be equal to treat every woman is an independent individual, not a mans accessories. The source of life of science and culture education, which is a very key point is gender equality, that is, life equality. Our sex education needs to get across that sex is a matter between men and women; there is no hierarchy.

通过对性文化的历史文化研究中，最终展馆内共设置了四个不同的展厅：天地、云雨、六礼和当下。四个展厅分别对应了四个主题内容：生命溯源（ 青少年性教育展厅 ），生命交合，历史中曾发生过的性别压迫及当下社会性心理疏导及反思。

Through the historical research of sexual culture, the design team has set up four different exhibition halls in the exhibition hall: Tiandi, Yunyu, Liuli and Present. The four exhibition halls correspond to four themes: the origin of life (adolescent sex education exhibition hall), life intercourse, gender oppression that occurred in history, current social psychological counseling and reflection.

每一个展厅内所呈现出来的空间氛围是不一样的，分别对应了“起承转合”的空间游走动线逻辑 —— 例如天地展厅是万物生命溯源，因而是开朗的明亮的；六礼展厅重点介绍了男女在国内外历史长河中所曾受到的性别压迫及陈腐观念，空间感受则是压抑的昏暗的。

The spatial atmosphere presented in each exhibition hall is different, corresponding to the logic of the spatial movement line of rising, inheriting, turning and combining. For example, the exhibition hall of heaven and earth is the source of life of all things, so it is bright and cheerful; The Liuli exhibition hall focuses on the gender oppression and stereotypes that men and women have suffered in the long history at home and abroad, while the feeling of space is oppressive and dim.

建筑设计提取其阴阳结合的抽象概念，空间室内设计提取人肢体的曲线语言，整个设计逻辑从景观，建筑再到室内化成为了层层递进的空间关系。每一部分的造型都有依有据，不为造型而造型，而是通过可视化的艺术表达方式，将叙事化设计贯穿空间设计逻辑，动线及展厅布置逻辑。

通过这样以身体艺术呈现的展厅设计，设计团队希望可以吸引更多人们可以来参观性文化展厅，了解相关的科普教育信息，尊重生命平等，社会也能更加关注重视女性在性关系中的平等权益及预防更多未成年对性教育的信息匮乏引发的悲剧发生。

Architectural design extracts the abstract concept of the combination of Yin and Yang, spatial interior design extracts the curving language of human body, and the whole design logic from landscape, architecture and then to the interior into a progressive spatial relationship. Each part of the modeling has a basis, not for modeling, but through visual artistic expression, the narrative design through the space design logic, moving line and exhibition hall layout logic.

By this body art exhibition hall design, the design team hopes to attract more people to visit sex culture exhibition hall, more information related to popular science education, respect for life is equal, society can pay more attention to pay more attention to the equal rights of women in the sex and prevention more minor tragedy caused by lack of information about sex education.
