Earlier this week we presented you an interesting proposal for the Environment Museum Annex Competition and now we received an honorable mention winner, from Lompreta Nolte Arquitetos - Daniel Feldman and Elizabeth Añaños.
The Botanical Garden, one of the oldest institutions in all Brazil, is a space of great relevance for the city of Rio de Janeiro. With around 600 thousand visitants each year, it is an important touristic spot, orientated to environmental and scientific education as well as leisure, and recently also cultural program.
The “Cultural Complex” at the entrance of the Botanical Garden has shown an immense growth of events, and the Environmental Museum is supposed to be the next and one of the most important elements of the Complex. Thus the project for the Museum Annex is mainly a project about integration – integration of the Museum into the existing facilities and in the environment of the Botanical Garden.
