First, an underground architectural journey uses immersive experiences to instil change in the way visitors view the world. Dissimulated scenographic tools create a perception of vibrations, allow to see and hear like insects, in a world usually imperceptible to human senses. Visitors are then directed to the main attraction, a vast green house where a multitude of insects are in direct contact with the public. Finally, creative workshops with large windows are placed right next to the greenhouse, where groups can participate in artistic creations linked to the exceptional moments they just experienced.

Integration of the architecture with the museum experience showcase the content of the exhibits. Respectful placement of the building within the natural beauty of the botanical garden was a key concern since the first sketches. Under the direction of architect project manager Nicolas Ranger, and in close collaboration with the team of Space for Life, we set up a cooperative multidisciplinary approach with the museologists, engineers and other specialists, to foster the development of innovative and integrated solutions.
