Tree of Life

During a time when the extinction of wildlife is increasing exponentially, this museum aims to raise awareness bout the impact that humans have on the biosphere. The museum starts at a nucleus where the main gallery lies, converges to a narrow strip that guides the visitor along the strip of water, and finally branches out in all directions, blending the paths into the landscape and disappearing between the trees. This expression of sprouting also mirrors the structure of the tree of life. Visitors are therefore guided along the paths to experience the evolution, growth and decay of species with time.
