About Field of Uncertainty 박물관

LA 라 브레아 타르 핏에 위치한 불확실성의 박물관은 발굴, 발견, 보존을 융합하여 이 장소의 풍부한 역사에 대한 매혹적인 헌정을 선보입니다. 이 디자인은 기존 타르를 매끄럽게 통합하여 전시 공간과 활발한 발굴 현장이라는 이중 목적을 수행합니다. 현대적 요소와 선사시대적 요소의 융합은 장소의 역사를 시각적으로 서술하며, 방문객들이 숨겨진 수수께끼를 탐험하도록 유도합니다. 역동적이고 몰입감 있는 경험을 통해 이 프로젝트는 대화를 촉진하고 탐험을 장려하여 라 브레아 타르 핏에 매력적인 추가 요소가 됩니다.

This project aims to engage visitors in a journey of exploration and enlightenment, promising to preserve and retell the magnificent stories concealed in the past of the La Brea Tar Pits.
Inspiration
The Museum of uncertainty within excavation triggers the excitement of discovery, while searching through these uncertainties, we need to read and uncover the stories behind them so we can discover and re-tell these majestic stories in the future. The excitement to find out the history of the Tar Pit is captured by lab research that slowly discovers the story behind each bone and inform us the nature of the Tar Pit in the past.
Project Duration
La Brea Tar pit, Los Angeles
Operation Flow
Comprising three distinct structures, the project offers visitors a multifaceted experience. Commencing at Wilshire Boulevard, guests embark on a journey that simulates submersion beneath the tar before arriving at the museum's central gathering area. Within the building, they encounter a fascinating exhibition featuring fossils from both storage and the hallway. The research building interconnects various excavation sites, creating a labyrinthine circulation, where visitors witness the excavation process on the ground level. In the institution building, visitors can attend lectures while gazing across the expansive excavation sites.
