La tesi esaminerà un particolare tipo di architettura, in cui gli edifici storici sono adattati per ospitare un museo contemporaneo. Questi musei in edifici storici sono oggi comunemente noti in diversi contesti culturali, sono apprezzati per ricomporre la struttura e il materiale in edifici preesistenti, raggiungendo le esigenze di un museo contemporaneo, nella ricreazione di questa nuova architettura, l'edificio storico viene riutilizzato e appare caratteristica contemporanea . Museo contemporaneo in edificio storico, è l'architettura che ha incarnato entrambi i temi dell'architettura museale e dell'edificio storico, quando questa trasformazione sta diventando comune nella percezione, è importante vedere il rapporto interno della complessità eseguita nelle architetture ibride. Il museo come contenitore di monumenti, edificio storico come monumento in contesto urbano, sono legati dagli architetti nell'adattamento, il monumento all'interno del monumento accade nel fenomeno della trasformazione. Con le esposizioni interne da conservare e gli edifici storici da conservare, questa particolare architettura risponderà sia alla conservazione architettonica che all'architettura museale. Vale la pena notare che le trasformazioni stanno variando in diversi contesti, le pratiche nell'adattamento dell'edificio storico come museo in Cina e in Europa appaiono caratteristiche e caratteristiche diverse nell'architettura. Le differenze si formano nella diversa evoluzione storica in due ambiti, che coinvolgono l'evoluzione dello sviluppo del museo e i concetti sulla conservazione architettonica che riutilizzano l'edificio storico. In Europa, dove il ripristino di un edificio storico è più spesso quello di costruire una nuova basata sulla funzione museale contemporanea , il monumento e il museo hanno svolto un percorso intrecciato nello sviluppo moderno di questo argomento dopo il periodo di ricostruzione del dopoguerra. Tuttavia, il 1950 è un punto di partenza diverso per il riutilizzo adattivo del palazzo storico come museo in Cina, segnò l'inizio del riutilizzo dell'edificio storico, tuttavia non era così integrato con due temi: il museo e l'edificio storico.Questa tesi analizzerà tali adattamenti in due contesti: l'Europa e la Cina, dal dopoguerra al 21 secolo, per indagare quali sono i fattori che oggi producono tali edifici. L'indagine si svilupperà su due temi progressivi: lo sviluppo della funzione museale nelle fasi storiche e gli aspetti architettonici nell'adattare l'edificio storico in un museo. Con le conoscenze di base dei due sviluppi, i casi degli anni Cinquanta e 2000 verranno studiati per concludere le somiglianze e le differenze in due contesti. I casi contemporanei verranno trasferiti nella storia di tale edificio in due ambiti, poi le somiglianze e le differenze di questo Sarà concluso un particolare tipo di architettura in due contesti. Alla fine, con la base teorica della conservazione architettonica e del museo, approfondito studio dei casi, conclude dall'Europa, quale esperienza nell'adattare gli edifici storici a musei può essere appreso nel contesto cinese.

Abstract
The thesis will investigate a peculiar type of architecture, in which historic buildings are adapted to house a contemporary museum. These museums in historic buildings are commonly seen today in different cultural context, they are appreciated for recomposing structure and material in preexisting buildings while attaining needs of a contemporary museum, in the recreation of such new architecture, the historic building is reused and appear contemporary features. Contemporary museum in historic building, is the architecture that embodied both issues of museum architecture and historic building, when these transformation are becoming common in perception, it is important to see the internal relationship of the complexity performed in the hybrid architectures. Museum as a container of monuments, historic building as a monument in urban context, they are linked by architects in the adaption, monument within monument happens in the phenomenon of transformation. With the exhibits inside to be preserved and the historic buildings to be conserved, this peculiar architecture will be responding to both architectural conservation and museum architecture. It is worth-noting that the transformations are varying in different contexts, practices in adaption of historic building to be museum in China and Europe appear different features and characteristics in Architecture. The differences are formed in the different historic evolution in two background, involving the evolution of museum development and the concepts on architectural conservation reusing historic building.In Europe, where restoring a historical building is more often than building a new one based on contemporary museum function, monument and museum performed a intertwined path in the modern development of this topic since post-war reconstruction time. However,1950s is a different starting point for adaptive reuse of historic building as museum in China, it marked the beginning of reusing historic building, however was not so integrated with two subjects- the museum and historic building. This thesis will analyze such adaptions in two context: Europe and China, from the post-war period to 21 century, to investigate what are the factors that produce such buildings today. The investigation will develop on two progressive themes: the development of museum function in historical phases, and architectural aspects in adapting historic building into a museum.
