Entry Description

The architecture offers spaces that frame and emphasize the site, resulting in multiple moments for reflection. The research center studies the overlap of microecosystems in the marsh environment, exploring how land, vegetation and animal life coexist in one habitat. The architecture response provides a contrast of scale as the approach on the site, to amplify the perception of the microecosystems. Marooned by time, Hunting Island reinforces emotions surrounding seclusion and human scale.
