Design competition (1st prize)

Taranta Creations - Project Architect

In the exhibition spaces the past, present and future are simultaneously present. We combine natural and timeless materials with high technology features. The multi-media wall with high technology features as augmented reality, touch screens and animation movies represents the spirit of the future. The wall is created from steel of the hull of a former fishing boat. The high tech wall will bear the marks of all the journeys the boat has made. In the exhibition part about geology we refer to the cave. When you enter the artificial ‘cave’, you experience the formation of stalactites above you. Small `water drops` are dripping from the ceiling.
