ENDEMIC PLANT MUSEUM

Ilia state university

Project idea

Architecture shapes the environment and the environment shapes the person. The main thought behind this museum is to emphasize a global problem - Humans neglect nature, expressed in the frequency of builds, destruction of the green, pollution and the other factors harming the ecosystem and a human in it.

Project description

The museum consists of three spaces. The first space, interior representing the dark cell holding the value of life in its grip, which aspires the life to fight for the "light of the freedom". The second space is the terrace on the roof, "life is in freedom", visitor can rest and appreciate in nature he/she has been fighting in the past. The third space is a mini library, the final step to developing awareness. The library is located between the first and second spaces, at a crossroads of that imprisoned life, freedom and a balanced relationship between them, equaling out the ecological problems represented artificially by our own doing. The exterior of the project mimics the "roughness" of the mountain and its shapes and works as the symbol of the strength of nature and a link to the buildings around it.

Technical information

The project’s three spaces are divided: 1) indoor exhibition 2) roof’s opened terrace 3) cognitive library. In order to visit all above mentioned three spaces step by step the visitor has to pass through and get familiar with the spaces located previously as long as they represent the way which makes a person think about his role in front of the environment.
