Bamiyan Museum & Culture Center for People/6. Drawing of Proposed Design/Mukogawa Women's University

6. Drawing of Proposed Design

6-1. Plans

Overall plan. The gate, entrance plaza, entrance hall, assembly hall, and outdoor amphitheater are arranged in a straight line. The Cave Garden will be situated on the right side of the outdoor amphitheater. The museum and management office will be constructed on the left side.

This part of the museum is accessible from the entrance plaza and the entrance hall. There will be four exhibition rooms. The first exhibition hall is scheduled to showcase Bamiyan’s nature and history. The north corridor of the museum will contain the exhibits. Workshop rooms and theaters are arranged behind the museum entrance. Backyard services, such as laboratories, collection storages, and storage facilities are arranged on the south side of the galleries.

The plan for the Cave Garden. The Bamiyan Cliff’s inaccessible caves will be reconstructed in this garden.

6-2. Elevations

Elevation: North side. This part of the museum is to the right of the outdoor amphitheater with the Cave Garden on the left. There is a 10-m level difference between this part of the museum and the area of the Cave Garden.

Elevation: South side. The dome-shaped roof of the assembly hall is seen in the center of this area. The domed rooftop of the museum is on the left side of the assembly hall.

6-3. Sections

Section: Axis between entrance gate, assembly hall, and outdoor amphitheater. The plantings are designed on the slope on the right side.

Section: Buddhism gallery including the reconstruction of the Cave XI, courtyard and museum corridor

6-4. Structural Design

Box-frame-type reinforced concrete construction is used. The domed or Laternen-decke ceilings of the assembly hall and museum are constructed of steel. The interior steel frames of the roofs are preformed and placed on reinforced concrete walls. Local rocks are used for the exterior wall facing. Openings for top lights and ventilation are designed on the top of the domes as necessary.

Structural design and construction of the museum. The steel frame structures and interior ceiling and exterior roof are finished on the ground, lifted by crane, and placed on the reinforced concrete walls.

Structural design of the assembly hall. The steel flame structures and interior and exterior of the dome are performed on gourd same as the other roofs, and placed on reinforced concrete walls.
