1m/500.000y museum of human evolution, competition, korea

     

 

  

      
      The human evolution tree and its different species / time analogies,

      are being instrumentalised into a 3 dimensional physical scale: 1,0

      meter represents 500.000 years (1m/500.000years). This system is

      used as a tool to define a new museum typology: an exhibition

      landscape, which allows visitors to have a unique physical

      experience of human „evolution steps“ in time.

        The new time-scape is being adjusted to the building site topography

      in the basalt precipice and then covered with a green roof. The volume

      subordinates to the natural landscape and the basalt precipice becomes

      visible in the interior side walls.

        At the same time the building functions as a threshold between the

      „outside world“ and the prehistoric excavation site.
