Second Place Winner

Living Limestone: A Responsive Museum for Sustainable Futures

Design by

Madison Kim, Elias Hollingworth & Marcus Ström

Juror’s Comment:
An exceptionally forward-thinking and systems-driven proposal that redefines the museum as a regenerative process rather than a static building. The integration of algae-based limestone production with architectural growth over time (page 3) demonstrates remarkable innovation, while the sectional development (page 4) clearly articulates a highly feasible and scalable underground strategy.

Work on:
The experiential and emotional dimension of the museum could be further intensified to match the strength of its ecological narrative.
