The biggest drawback of physical materials is that materials have to go through space to talk to people.

We very positively value the ideas of this project and think about architecture over time and its relationship with nature. However, we recommend that you further develop the architectural platforms that you propose to make them comfortable and thus solve the needs of the building. We encourage you to think of vegetation as something more uncontrollable and unpredictable. It is treated as pieces of a wall or construction elements and the growth of the natural tree will be incompatible with this.

Metamorphosis

The concept behind this museum is to showcase the evolution of materials throughout history beginning with the most basic neolithic materials all the way to contemporary state of the art developments.

So even if you don't have the opportunity to see the material, you can touch it, hear it, smell it. In the very center of the museum there is an interactive atrium, along the edges of which there is a st
