Abstract
The Long Museum, with its distinctive T-shaped “umbrella-vault” structure, offers a rich array of spatial experiences. This article delves into space from both structural and compositional perspectives. As the construction mediator, the umbrella vault embodies the consistency of construction and implies the causality of the surface. Presented as an element, the space flows freely, showing diverse fields and order. In terms of the liberation of its meaning, the space offers static perception and dynamic experience, creating a rich exhibition atmosphere. As a distinct entity, the umbrella-vault presents the physical nature, and the dialogue between the Long Museum and the city makes it a museum of art for the people.
