How to Bring the Nature into Museum with keeping Content?
In order to create an immersive experience that smoothly transitions visitors from the outdoor environment into a nature-inspired museum setting, we focused on breaking down the barriers between the two spaces. We came up with the idea of Metaphorical Interpretation of Forest. Emphasizing the verticality of forest trees and natural sunlight, we employed slender plinths and warm lighting to evoke a sense of being in nature. Additionally, by utilizing these surfaces as primary exhibit spaces, we crafted a holistic design that not only captures the essence of nature but also conveys informative narratives about the rangers' stories.
