叙事驱动的整体空间策略：该项目最精妙之处在于将整个微波山公园视为一个“山即展场，城即展览”的整体叙事空间。设计巧妙地将历史事件（如“蛇口开山炮”现场）植入到从山脚到山顶的环山步道中，使“登山”本身成为观展过程，历史信息与周边的城市景观交织并置。这种沉浸式的、步移景异的体验设计，成功地将纪念性建筑与市民日常的公共活动无缝融合，极大地提升了场地的活性与意义的深度。
对历史原物的“现成品”式尊重与整合：建筑师对场地历史原址的考证达到了极高的专业水准，通过对历史图纸和现场勘察的细致比对，成功地发现了原商用微波站的原始结构，并将其原貌恢复并加固，作为最具历史意义的“现成品”置于馆中核心位置。这种对历史遗存的尊重和“展品化”的处理手法，不仅锚定了建筑的文脉根基，更在建筑本体上树立了关于时间、效率与记忆的深刻象征。
多层次流线与材料的象征性表达：设计通过五层清晰的体量划分，实现了室内专业展览与室外公共漫游的有机结合。架空层和屋顶观景平台将蛇口半岛的自然与城市景观纳入展览序列，确保了场地的公共属性。材质上，使用白洞石营造山体融合感，同时在室内大量运用铸铝、铜、钢、混凝土，并将工业零件融入骨料，这种粗犷与精细并存的工业美学，是对招商局150年工业和改革开放历史的恰当物质性致敬。
In the late 1970s, China shifted its focus to economic construction, and Shenzhen became China's first Special Economic Zone.
二十世纪七十年代末，中国转向以经济建设为中心，深圳成为中国第一个经济特区。
China Merchants Group, originating from Hong Kong, took the lead by establishing the Shekou Industrial Zone in Shenzhen, blasting rocks and reclaiming land to build a port on the Nantou Peninsula, attracting foreign investment, thus becoming a pioneer of China's Reform and Opening Up.
香港招商局率先来到深圳创办蛇口工业区，在深圳南头半岛开山炸石填海建港，对外招商引资，成为中国改革开放的先行者。
The successful operational mechanism of the industrial zone was later termed the "Shekou Model," which inaugurated the prelude to China's 40 years of economic take-off.
工业区成功的运营机制随后被称为 “蛇口模式”，为之后中国40年的经济腾飞拉开了序幕。
Established in 1872 during the late Qing Dynasty, China Merchants Group experienced ups and downs through the Republic of China and the People's Republic eras. To commemorate its 150th anniversary, the site for the China Merchants Group History Museum was selected at Weiboshan in Shekou.
招商局成立于清末的1872年，又经历了民国和共和国三个时代的跌宕起伏，为迎接150年华诞,选址蛇口微波山建造招商局历史博物馆。

Weiboshan, originally an unnamed hill in Shekou, got its name because the first commercial microwave station in China was built on its summit. URBANUS was invited to design the China Merchants Group History Museum and proposed the design concept: “The Mountain is the Exhibition Venue, the City is the Exhibition.” The entire Weiboshan Park is treated as a spatial narrative whole.
微波山原为蛇口一座无名小山头，因山顶上修建了中国第一个商用微波站而得名。都市实践应邀设计招商局历史博物馆,提出“山即展场，城即展览”的设计理念,将整座微波山公园作为一个空间叙事整体。
The narrative unfolds from the "Time Square" at the foot of the mountain, which is the site where the "Shekou Rock Blasting Cannon," symbolizing the dawn of Reform and Opening Up, exploded. The monument in the center of the square is engraved with Mr. Yuan Geng’s famous quote, considered the essence of Shenzhen's spirit: “Time is money, efficiency is life.”
从山脚的“时间广场”展开叙事，这里是象征改革开放肇始的“蛇口开山炮”炸响的现场，广场中央的纪念碑上镌刻着工业区创建者袁庚先生被视为凝聚深圳精神的名言 “时间就是金钱，效率就是生命”。
Ascending the steps, significant events in the history of Reform and Opening Up are inscribed along the circular narrative pathway around the mountain, corresponding with the surrounding urban landscape, presenting a juxtaposition of history and the present, forming multiple landscape nodes. Climbing the mountain becomes part of viewing the exhibition, culminating at the museum on the summit.
拾级而上，改革开放历史的重要事件被刻录在环山的叙事步道中，并且与周边的城市景观呼应，呈现历史今夕的并置，形成多个景观节点。登山成为观展的一部分，至山顶博物馆达到展览叙事的高潮。

The design of the museum began with verifying the original location of the microwave station. After comparing historical blueprints and conducting on-site inspections, the original structure of the microwave station was found amidst the building that had undergone multiple additions. The plan restored the original appearance of the microwave station, reinforced its foundation, allowing it to become the most historically significant exhibit in the museum in its capacity as an "original artifact."
博物馆的设计从微波站原址的考证开始，经过比对历史图纸和现场勘察，在经历了多次加建的现场建筑中找到了当年微波站的原始结构。方案恢复了微波站的原貌，加固了基础，让它以“现成品”的姿态成为馆中最具历史意义的展品。

The museum building has five levels. The semi-basement level houses the main entrance, foyer, a small reception room, major equipment rooms, and a multi-functional hall that can operate independently when the museum is closed.
博物馆建筑共五层。半地下层设置了主入口、门厅、小型接待室以及主要设备机房，还设置了一个可在闭馆时独立开放的多动能厅；
The first and second floors are arranged around the restored microwave station, housing the permanent exhibition halls detailing the 150-year history of China Merchants Group.
一、二层围绕复原的微波站布置了招商局150周年历史的常设展厅。
The third-floor elevated level is an observation deck open to the public, connecting to the mountain path. It features a café/reception area suitable for meetings and salons. Visitors can sit indoors or outdoors, enjoying a 360-degree view of the Shekou peninsula, witnessing Shekou—the ongoing “urban exhibition venue”—in real-time.
三层架空层是向公众开放的观景平台，连接登山步道。这里设有咖啡厅/接待室，可用于会议和沙龙。人们可在室内外闲坐，360度观看蛇口的半岛风光，见证进行时中的蛇口这一“城市展场”；
The fourth floor is dedicated to contemporary art exhibitions; the suspended volume contains a continuous, surrounding exhibition space for short-term thematic displays. Variously shaped windows facing different directions frame views of the surrounding nature and city, incorporating the changing urban scenery into the exhibition sequence.
四层为当代艺术展厅,漂浮的体量之内是连续环绕的展览空间，用于短期主题展览。面向不同方位形态各异的窗口是望向场地四周自然及城市的景框，将变化的城市风景纳入到展览的序列中。
The rooftop is an open observation deck, the highest point of Weiboshan, serving as a place for panoramic viewing and outdoor events. In addition to the indoor exhibition flow, the design incorporates multiple outdoor public pathways, allowing citizens access even after the museum closes. This rich, multi-layered visiting experience enables the museum to adapt to various exhibition and event requirements.
屋顶是一个开阔的观景平台，也是微波山的最高点，是极目远眺和举办露天活动的场所。设计在室内观展流线之外还设置了多条室外公共流线，让市民在闭馆后仍有机会拾级而上。层次丰富立体的游览体验使博物馆能适应多种展陈与活动的需求。

The main exterior material of the museum is white travertine, with parts of the building volume partially embedded into the mountain, making it seem like a part of the hill. Interior materials and craftsmanship delicately echo the industrial history of China Merchants Group, utilizing elements such as cast aluminum, copper, steel, and concrete.
博物馆的外立面材料以白洞石为主，建筑体量局部埋入山体，像是山的一部分。室内材料及工艺细腻地呼应了招商局的工业历史，使用铸铝件、铜、钢和混凝土等元素。
The oversized main entrance door is made of cast aluminum, and in important spaces, industrial components are mixed into the concrete as aggregate.
建筑入口超常规尺寸的大门采用铸铝制造，重要空间的墙面则将工业零件作为骨料的一部分掺入混凝土中一同浇筑。

The China Merchants Group History Museum is not an ordinary museum; it marks a significant turning point in contemporary Chinese history and serves as a spatial venue for inheriting and promoting the spirit of Reform and Opening Up.
招商局历史博物馆不是一座普通的博物馆，它标志着中国当代历史的一个重要转折点, 也是传承与弘扬改革开放精神的空间场所。
We attempt to tightly integrate a milestone commemorative building with the daily lives of ordinary citizens, creating contemporary public space and urban memory. When people ascend Weiboshan, they look upon the vast sky and sea while simultaneously reviewing history, looking to the future, honoring the pioneers, and inspiring future generations; this aims to transform Weiboshan, a secret retreat hidden in the city, into a spiritual landmark of Shenzhen and an anchor point for citizens' daily cultural life.
我们试图将一座里程碑式的纪念性建筑与普通市民的日常生活紧密结合，创造属于当下的公共空间和城市记忆，人们登临微波山，看天空海阔，同时在这里回顾历史，展望未来，缅怀先贤，激励后人；让微波山这个大隐于市的秘境成为深圳城市精神地标和市民日常文化生活锚点。
