| dc.description.abstract | The Denver Museum of Nature and Science envisions a transformation that
acknowledges our connection to nature, aiming to deepen our understanding of this relationship. This transformation stems from the belief that humans are part of nature, not its conquerors. The museum has achieved LEED Platinum certification, highlighting its commitment to sustainable practices and environmental stewardship. However, critics argue it serves more as a testament to human achievements than as a sanctuary for nature, missing the chance to integrate with its surrounding environment. To address this, the proposed transformation emphasizes architectural design in harmony with nature, moving away from mere mechanical efficiency towards a more symbiotic relationship. The vision extends beyond exhibits, aiming to reimagine the museum as a living link connecting people with the marvels of our planet and beyond. | en_US |
