Green museum and conservation centre at Purbachal

Abstract

The proposal is for a museum and conservation centre dedicated to plants of Bangladesh. The green and sustainable building will exhibit the diversity of native plants under their own ecological environment and showing effects of climate change. Usually museums are created as theatres, with exhibits on display and visitors are trapped inside the opaque built form, but this building needs to be transparent so that there is a direct link with the nature with an extensive landscaping, serving as an open to sky exhibition space, and acting as a civic space.
