Brief introduction of Guangdong science center
The main building of Guangdong Science Center, the "carrier of science and technology", is located in the center of the whole building. Seen from the air, it looks like a blooming kapok, modeled after the city flower of Guangzhou, which fully demonstrates the regional characteristics. Against the backdrop of the western waters, the "science and technology carrier" is like a ship sailing forward, symbolizing the development of science and technology in Guangdong. The "Eye of Science" at the entrance of the main building symbolizes the mystery of scientific discovery. The whole building contains four meanings: science and technology pioneer, braving the wind and waves, wisdom and humanity, and good luck, which adds a new landmark building to Guangzhou.
The big arm, six movable deformable bodies suspended in the air and solar sails that exchange information when they meet, there are three landmark exhibitions with huge shapes in the open-air square and the main building of Guangdong Science Center. Their names are connection, deformation and solar sails respectively.
Zhang Ming, director of Guangdong Science Center, said: "It is rare to set up such a landmark exhibition in domestic science and technology museums." . These three large-scale landmark exhibitions integrate science, knowledge and interest. "They will enlighten the public to explore the essence of science and are the concentrated expression of the core educational concept of Guangdong Science Center."
"Connection": two big arms for exchanging information.
Walking into the open-air square at the entrance of Guangdong Science Center, you can see two huge swing arms in the distance, welcoming tourists happily. These two large rotating arms are built on two adjacent towers. One end of each arm "grabs" an LED display screen and the other end "grabs" a counterweight. If you look closely, you will find that their trajectory is actually an "infinite" symbol, just like a lying number "8".
What's more, there is an interesting "secret" in these two magical arms. Zhang Ming said that when the disks on the two rotating arms cross each other, the LED images on them will "change" as if they were "transmitting" information to each other. "It implies that the development of science is" related "to everything, and science will develop endlessly."
"Deformation": Infinitely changing geometry
In the center of the atrium of Guangdong Science Center, another group of symbolic exhibitions-"Deformation" is hung. They are actually six active two-dimensional or three-dimensional geometric shapes, of which the largest and most complex shape is a cubic rod, and the other five deformation bodies-double helix, star-shaped flower cluster cone, inverted parallel plane, nested cone and colored ring surround it.
"The shapes of these six variable bodies move gracefully and slowly like celestial bodies," Zhang Ming said. "These special shapes tell us that there are endless changes everywhere in the scientific world, and only by continuous innovation can we continue to develop."
"Solar Sailing": A New Highlight of Environmental Protection
Another landmark exhibition "Solar Sailing" donated by British BP Global Investment Co., Ltd. with a US$ 2 million environmental protection fund is the latest environmental protection highlight of Guangdong Science Center.
In order to absorb as much solar energy as possible, the whole "solar sail" faces south, and there is a display screen next to it, which shows the operation of the "solar sail" and various data information of the surrounding environment. Don't underestimate this sail. It is not only a good place for shade and rest, but also a small power station. Zhang Ming said: "The solar energy converted from this sail can not only be used for lawn irrigation, fountain devices and night lighting, but also the surplus electricity can be incorporated into the power grid."
It is rare that there are four high-tech cinemas in the world at the same time.
If you still feel unfinished after reading these pavilions, you can also participate in the most advanced scientific experiments yourself like scientists: Guangdong Science Center currently provides two open laboratories. Among them, in the "robot experiment", the audience can disassemble a biped humanoid robot by themselves or try to program the robot; In the "solar cell manufacturing" experiment, the audience can learn about the structure, photoelectric conversion principle and solar energy utilization technology of solar cells through experiments.
Zhang Ming, director of Guangdong Science Center, said that in order to cultivate young people's creativity, the experiments in open laboratories will be very different from those conducted by schools. It is not simply repeating school education, but enlightening young people's wisdom by letting them "do it". "The experiment will mainly take the form of group appointment, with no more than 50 people at a time, and the participation time will be about 2 to 3 hours. In addition, experimental projects will be updated regularly, or specific experimental activities will be temporarily set up according to emergencies. "
Asia's largest giant screen cinema
The Science and Technology Cinema with a building area of 65,438+10,000 square meters is another major feature of Guangdong Science Center. There is not only the largest giant screen cinema in Asia at present, but also the ball screen cinema built with the latest laser projection technology for the first time in the world. Jiang Hongbo, deputy director of the preparatory office of Guangdong Science Center, said: "Cantonese people have never had the opportunity to see so many science and technology cinemas in this province before." . The Science and Technology Cinema Group of Guangdong Science Center includes four cinemas: 3D giant screen stereoscopic cinema, virtual navigation dynamic cinema, 4D cinema and digital dome cinema. "It not only adopts the best film and television technology in the world, but also puts these four cinemas together at the same time, which is rare in the world." Jiang Hongbo said that the 3D giant screen cinema here is 29 meters wide and 22 meters high, reaching seven or eight floors. It is the largest and most advanced giant screen cinema in Asia at present, which can accommodate nearly 600 spectators.
The diameter of the digital dome theater is 18m, which is the first dome theater built with the latest laser projection technology in the world. "Not only is the projection screen spherical, but the architectural appearance of the theater is also spherical." Jiang Hongbo said: "Here, the audience can enjoy the vast starry sky and the fascinating underwater world."
"Our 4D cinema has added special effects for chairs, and we can also design special effects such as smoke, fog, rain, lightning, snowflakes and bubbles according to the plot of the film, so that the audience can experience the feeling of thunder and lightning, rain and snow, and the ground shaking; The virtual navigation dynamic cinema has the world's largest dynamic platform, and the effect is very realistic, with a drop as high as 1 meter. "
