Shenzhen Museum of Natural History totals around 2,160,000 sf including landscape main museum and phase two. Responding to the Anthropocene it offers spatial experiences like rock climbing bamboo garden exploration and a 2.5 hectare roofscape.

Supported by a wide span concrete shell the design features rock perimeter walls housing services and enabling climbing. Inside solids and voids create complex spaces with exhibitions in various forms. Phase two adds freestanding pavilions with water and air themes. Rock material enhances sustainability via daylight control and thermal performance.
