Some time ago, we published in Platform Architecture, National Public Contest Winners for the Expansion of Museum Environment in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Where she won first place team of Santa Cecilia and Bruno André Luis Prado de Architects Associates, while the second was for the team of MAAM Studio Parallel.


Then show them the third place obtained by BLAC - Leonardo Backhouse e Architecture Cicada, with its proposed expansion of the Museum of the Environment (MUMA).
Located in the Botanical Garden of Rio de Janeiro, is inserted in the strengthening of this trend in perspective and struggle of humanity for the viability of a sustainable world and placed a delicate challenge, the introduction of architectural objects, with their strong contemporary individuality, to establish a new harmonious and seductive to the growing public presence of the new volume visitant. adjacent to the existing building, considered until then as principal, together with the decision on access by using the original front door of this building, favored the design of the main access through the intermediate volume can properly distribute the secondary access to the various functions of the program, at the same time articulating the presence of the two volumes (the existing and new) so harmonica. The areas for exhibits are distributed by the three (03) levels of the new building allowing various options to route and exhibition methods.

The arrangement of the elements of vertical circulation provides favorable conditions for a visit that starts for access by lift to the top floor and is displayed by the other floors to go downstairs. The final level will be an area of contemplation, a viewpoint to 13.90 m on the Arboretum and surrounding elements. The most-southeast is occupied by a set of sheds, a member of the ventilation system and lighting of the building.
The project suggests the possibility of the user to gain entry to the MUMA to have direct access to the Arboretum, which is made by the ramp on the northwest facade of the new building on the existing access in the garden of the museum. Such access marks the essential link between what is presented in the museum space and the body of the Arboretum plant, enhancing and emphasizing the educational aspect of the visit to the Arboretum.-Source-
