The Shanghai Museum of Glass is a contemporary concept museum located in a former
glassmaking-workshop in the north of Shanghai. On more than 3,500 sqm the museum unfolds
the thousand years old story of ancient glassmaking to present day applications for astronautics.
Leading an international team of architects, artists, designers, filmmakers and multimedia
specialists, COORDINATION ASIA was responsible for art direction and the entire concept, design
and supervision of the museum interior, as well as to be a reliable consultant for curation,
marketing and operation.

The museum opened it's doors in May 2011 after 18 monthes of planning and construction.

The museum itself (interior/exhibition/galleries) was concepted, designed and supervised by
COORDINATION ASIA. COO ASIA is a Shanghai-based design consultancy specialized in
museums and retail design under the direction of the german architect Tilman Thuermer. For the
graphic design COO cooperated with Jacquesetbrigitte an illustrator couple from Switzerland,
based in Berlin.

The exterior was taken care of the Shanghai-based german architectural firm Logon.

COO ASIA soley used black laqueres glass for the exhibition interior (cases, floor furniture, walls),
but left the existing structure of the building untouched. Since the museum is located in a former
glassmaking workshop and the designers tried to protect the old structures (open workshop
ceiling, rough floor and walls) to keep the former function visible. The black sleek walls and cases
reflect the multiple LEDs and multimedia and create a certain sparkle within the space. The
reflections are a kind of link which shows the interdependecies and influences between the
periods of glass design and glass making over the centuries and inbetween continents and
cultures.

A successful museum design must balance between the space, the exhibition furniture and the
exhibits along with the visual impact of graphical and media support. The Shanghai Museum of
Glass is the largest exhibit of it's collection, it literally melts the space with it's objects. Art Director
Tilman Thuermer about the concept: " Museums in China are often just accumulations of
showcases where the visitors hop from case to case but somehow kept out and are not beeing
involved. No spacial experience. No chance to collect knowledge according to personal interests.
Just following beaten tracks. We tried to break this up and created a (glass-like)-kaleidoscope of
impressions and points-of-interest for the visitor to encourage them to be active and
independend.".

上海玻璃博物館坐落于上海北部，其前身是上海輕工玻璃公司的玻璃窯爐車間，目前則是一家極具現代概念的博物館。在占地超過3500平方的博物館內闡述了數千年前古代玻璃的制作工藝到現今玻璃在宇宙航行器上的故事。帶領一個由建筑師，藝術家，設計師，電影制片人及多媒體專家組成的國際化團隊，“協調亞洲”作為整個博物館項目的藝術指導，承擔博物館內部的整體概念，設計及監理，同時也為博物館的展覽策劃，市場營運及日常運作提供專業的咨詢。

在歷時18個月的設計策劃及施工后，上海玻璃博物館已于2011年5月18日正式向大眾開放。

上海玻璃博物館本身（館內設計/展覽陳列/藝術展廊）均由“協調亞洲”進行概念策劃，設計及監理。“協調亞洲”由德國建筑師迪爾曼•圖蒙擔任執行董事，是一家立足上海，專業于博物館及零售商鋪策劃等方面的設計咨詢公司。在平面設計方面，“協調公司”與一對來自瑞士的插圖畫家夫婦Jacquesetbrigitte通力合作，他們目前在德國工作生活。

上海玻璃博物館的外部立面由上海的德國羅昂建筑公司設計完成。

“協調亞洲”對于展廳內部元素（展柜，地面家具，墻體）等僅僅使用黑色的烤漆玻璃，而未曾去觸碰建筑的原始結構。因博物館本身坐落于曾經的玻璃窯爐車間內，設計師試圖保存原來的建筑結構（開放式的工作室頂棚，粗糙的車間地面，墻壁）使原先的空間功能仍然清晰可見。光滑的黑色墻面展柜反射出LED燈帶和多媒體屏幕，為空間不時地創造出一些閃光點。這些反射如同一條紐帶展現了過去幾個世紀來，在不同時期，不同區域，不同文化下，玻璃設計及玻璃制作過程中的相互依賴，相互影響。

一個成功的博物館設計必須在空間、展具及展品中，同時在平面及多媒體支持的視覺影響下取得平衡。上海玻璃博物館其本身就是博物館最大的收藏品，它確實地融合了空間及展品兩種概念。藝術總監迪爾曼•圖蒙關于博物館的概念說道：“中國的博物館經常只是展品上的大量積累與展示，參觀者通常只是從一個展柜到另一個展柜參觀欣賞，感覺像被拒之門外而沒有被融入其中。這種參觀沒有什么特別的體驗，更沒有按個人愛好來吸取知識的機會。只是跟著節拍走。我們試圖打破之一概念，為參觀者創造出一種（玻璃般的）萬花筒的印象效果及興趣點，鼓勵他們積極參與，獨立思考。”
