Yingliang Stone Natural History Museum sits at the headquarters of a stone manufacture in Xiamen. Over years of stone mining, the company has established a private archeological team to discover numerous fossils, which they decided to house in a museum. The project transforms the principal of stone dissection, which is specific to stone mining, into a spatial division mechanism, to cut the cubical space accordingly. The project sticks to only one architecture element—the wall—to keep the consistency and authenticity of the project. The museum upgrades industry to an “industry+culture” mode.
