The Hungarian Natural History Museum, designed by the Bjarke Ingels Group, is a sustainable architectural project merging seamlessly with its hilly forested surroundings. Spanning 23,000 square meters, the museum resembles a manmade hill, featuring three overlapping ribbons adorned with greenery. Primarily constructed from mass timber, the building integrates geothermal systems and photovoltaic panels for energy efficiency. It aims not just to preserve, but to enhance the environment, fostering biodiversity while providing stunning views for visitors who can walk atop the structure, experiencing nature intimately.
Constructed from mass timber, the building features a facade of locally sourced charred timber panels that emerge from the ground, blurring the lines between architecture and wilderness.
The museum draws on the thermal mass of the ground and integrates on-site energy systems, including geothermal loops and photovoltaic panels, to ensure a stable indoor climate year-round.
Rather than simply preserving the site, the building restores and enhances it - regenerating biodiversity while quietly adapting to climate change.
This architectural marvel will consist of three overlapping ribbons, each adorned with lush greenery, creating a seamless blend with the natural environment.
