About The Entry

This project envisions a natural museum housed within a greenhouse, transforming interior space into an immersive medium for climate awareness. Rather than relying on data and scientific analysis, the design engages visitors through sensorial experiences, placing them in direct dialogue with the realities of climate change.

In contrast to the controlled, highly practical urban environment, this museum introduces a sequence of sensory-driven spaces that simulate extreme weather conditions and agricultural systems. Visitors will navigate between contrasting environmental states, from drought-stricken landscapes to lush, food-producing ecosystems, creating a tangible connection between climate risks and daily life. By experiencing the immediacy of environmental shifts, individuals are encouraged to reflect on their role within these systems and adopt more sustainable behaviors.

Beyond being a didactic space, this greenhouse museum serves as a catalyst for action. By integrating urban farming and food production systems, visitors transition from passive observers to active participants in climate solutions. The design fosters a reconnection between humans and natural life cycles, demonstrating how interior environments can inspire climate-conscious living and resilience.

This project redefines the role of interior design as an educational and transformative tool, proving that space itself can be an agent of change in the fight against climate crisis.
