StarGroup adopts a turnkey “Concept-Design-Build” model to deliver Chang’an Cloud · Xi’an Science and Technology Museum, setting a new benchmark for science-museum construction in China. The 59,000 m² “Super Dream-Making Space” fuses the DNA of technology, art, and education into one national flagship for public science engagement.

Master plan by the design team

• Seven themed galleries: DreamWorks, Scientific Inquiry, Hard-Core Power, Aerospace Dreams, Life & Health, Children’s Science Park, Everyday Inventions

• Immersive matrix: two special-effect theaters, two temporary-exhibition zones, three arcade galleries, one signature show stage, five maker/study labs

Breakthrough innovations

1. Architecture & exhibits in symbiosis – a new paradigm of future aesthetics

• Structural features are woven into multi-layered narratives, turning the building itself into a kinetic tech-art sculpture.

• “Mechanical Bionic Flying Fish” and a monumental Möbius-strip installation soar through the atrium, creating iconic sci-fi landmarks.

• 376 original exhibits are “exhibitized” into architectural finishes, blurring the line between space and content.

2. Narrative of the “Hard-Tech Capital”

• From life sciences to quantum technology, from aerospace to AI, immersive interactions link Xi’an’s industrial ambitions with global innovation trends.

• Diverse storylines are distilled into each gallery, showcasing the city’s pioneering “hard-tech” spirit.

3. Future experience redefined

• Large-scale visual spectacles deliver instant WOW moments; seven galleries form a complete innovation ecosystem.

• Sci-fi lighting and high-tech interactions create time-warp fields that ignite the curiosity of young explorers.

By translating cutting-edge technologies into artistic expression, the architecture becomes a living, evolving technological artwork. With “Never-Ending Innovation” as its core ethos, the museum is designed as a continuously evolving science-education base, establishing a new paradigm for tech-culture spaces. Amid the dazzling collision of technology and art, the public will witness the unstoppable power of Chinese innovation.
