WHERE DO WE COME FROM? WHAT ARE WE?

WHERE ARE WE GOING?”

by Sasha Primak

“Architecture is a way of seeing, thinking and questioning our world and our place in it.”

– T.Mayne

“The Beaty Biodiversity Museum by Patkau Architects provides accommodation to the blue whale skeleton that illustrates the interconnectedness of all living things. When visitors enter the museum they can admire the magnitude of the largest animal that has ever lived on Earth at eye level. Then, they can descend a switchback ramp to stand below and pause in awe of the skeleton’s full breadth.

The unobstructed view invokes the hushed reverence for nature’s wonder and puts things into perspective… The whale population has drastically decreased during the commercial whaling era and it may never fully recover. A minimalist aesthetic of this space, with its clean lines and a monochromatic palette, provides a beautiful in its simplicity backdrop for life’s drama while offering a perfect site for learning and self-reflection.”
