Oeiras Museu da Água, Portugal
The City of Oeiras, Portugal, on the outskirts of Lisbon, reached out to CORE to develop a Master Plan and Concepts for Exhibits for a 6-story Water Museum. Three separate concepts for the narrative of the museum were explored ranging on topics such as Hydrologic Cycle, Water in Living Things, States of Water, Growth of Civilizations on Water, Origins of Life in Water, Urban Water Cycle relating to Lisbon, Agriculture, Environmental Stewardship, Water Culture, Water in the Body, and Human’s Impact on Water and the Environment.
The architects on this exciting project feature a conceptual cloud atop the building that rains through the central portion of the structure to the bottom floor. [link to architect]
