Beaty Biodiversity Museum – Section showing whale skeleton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While analyzing the environment outside the museum and in the courtyard, I had no idea that there was a whole museum space underground. I also didn’t see the hanging whale skeleton until almost right up to the glass. Walking into the museum was an interesting phenomenon as there is so much more to the building than what is above ground, which I assume is placed so that the artifacts don’t degrade in UV light from the sun. However, I can see why the museum might not get many passerby visitors as there is no visual cue that there is anything of this size going on underground.<\/p>\n

Design proposal – placing the whale skeleton in a way that looks like it is diving down underground to the museum.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here I’ve proposed a repositioning of the hale skeleton, start well above ground and be ‘diving’ down into the museum. This way it is more visible from pedestrians and those lounging in the courtyard. \u00a0This will hopefully give the idea that there is more going on underground than what is first seen, and attract people into the space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
