Named “The Iceberg and the Sea”, the project of Natural History Museum created by Open Architecture revolves around 6 vertical volumes rising from the “Inland Sea”. These icebergs welcome the public programs of the museum, each with its own specific focal program : the lobby, the 500-seat theatre, the 300-seat Imax, the library, the children education and the temporary exhibition spaces.
Underneath the “Inland Sea” is an expansive flat floor of exhibition space allowing the maximum flexibility.
