ABSTRACT

This research traces the architectural spatial and curatorial intentions of (RTM) in Jordan, focusing on the arrangement of the displays and the morphology of the layout as pedagogical tools for unfolding the narrative. A case study approach was taken, with three modes of inspection: (1) a survey documenting RTM’s interiority and spatial organisation; (2) a syntactic-analytic-layer to examine how the museum’s permeability and visibility structures control visitors’ experiences; (3) an ethnographic-analytic-layer, with observations and interviews to document visitors’ exploratory behaviours. The museum employs a combination of architectural and internal semiotic settings. In some instances, strictly defined sequences of movement and visual frames impose a chronological-historical message. In others, RTM privileges well-defined sequences of exploration along less intricate subdivisions to confront visitors with choreographed thematic displays of contemporary and international messages. This study proposes a new methodology for investigating tank museums, situating the traditional ethnographic approach inside a broader morphological-syntactical alternative.

摘要

这项研究追溯了（RTM）在约旦的建筑空间和策展意图，重点关注展示的安排和布局的形态，作为展开叙事的教学工具。采用案例研究方法，采用三种检查模式：(1) 记录 RTM 内部性和空间组织的调查；(2) 句法分析层，用于检查博物馆的渗透性和可见性结构如何控制游客的体验；(3) 人种学分析层，通过观察和访谈来记录访客的探索行为。博物馆结合了建筑和内部符号学设置。在某些情况下，严格定义的运动序列和视觉框架强加了一个按时间顺序排列的历史信息。在其他方面，RTM 赋予沿着不太复杂的细分的明确定义的探索序列，让游客面对当代和国际信息的编排主题展示。这项研究提出了一种调查坦克博物馆的新方法，将传统的民族志方法置于更广泛的形态-句法替代方案中。
