Fossil Exhibit Annex

My vision unfolds within the embrace of the existing building, where our annex emerges as a visual testament to openness and innovation.

Innovation intertwines with homage as our design concept takes shape, giving rise to a structure that stands as a testament to architectural ingenuity. Unlike the conventional confines of the existing building, this annex emerges as a visual oasis amidst the urban landscape, its façade adorned with geometric forms that echo the timeless allure of ancient discovery. Through the interplay of light and shadow, the annex casts a mesmerizing spell upon all who venture near, inviting them to peer beyond the glass façade and delve into the secrets that lie within.

Far from a mere architectural appendage, the annex seamlessly integrates with the existing edifice, standing as a beacon of discovery that beckons to all who pass by. Positioned as a visual focal point amidst the urban expanse, it commands attention with its bold silhouette and open design, inviting the curious to explore the mysteries that lie within. Through intentional lighting and meticulous design, the annex emerges as a dynamic showcase, illuminating the darkness with the radiance of ancient discovery and igniting the surrounding landscape with the vibrancy of scientific inquiry. 
Within the annex, geometric forms intertwine with the echoes of the past, creating a tableau that evokes the primal allure of discovery. Yet, amidst the angular contours and sleek surfaces, lies a treasure trove of ancient relics—a life-sized replica of fossil remains that serves as the centerpiece of our narrative. Bathed in the incandescent glow of illumination, it casts a mesmerizing spell upon all who venture near, inviting them to embark on a journey through the ages.
