Perot Museum of nature & science
Dallas, Texas
The Museum of Nature & Science recently broke ground on a new 180,000 s.f. facility in the Victory Park neighborhood of Dallas. The building, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Thom Mayne and his firm, Morphosis, will house exhibits in a cube- shaped structure with dramatic views of downtown Dallas.
Amaze Design is currently developing five new galleries for the Museum. Three of the galleries will focus on life and earth sciences and astronomy and will present overviews of these fields from a systems science point of view. A fourth gallery will house the museum's paleontological collection and the fifth will feature the Museum's important library of bird-related books and manuscripts.
Size: 23,500 s.f. Budget: $2.6 million Completion: 2013
Architects: Morphosis Architects, Inc. Design/Fabrication Partners: Roto Studio; Group Delphi
