Space Museum
Museum design and spatial experiences that explore collections, memory, and architectural innovation.
Space Museum covers the design of museum buildings and exhibitions that house collections and create visitor experiences. This includes the architectural strategies, material choices, and spatial arrangements that define how museums function as cultural institutions.
The community explores museum projects ranging from material-focused exhibitions and sensory experiences to large-scale institutional buildings. Work includes spiral structures wrapping around landscape, pavilion clusters descending hillsides, vertical reinterpretations of historic sites, and science museums integrated with natural environments.
