Project Details
The project effectively addresses the institution’s expansion needs and vision of a world-class museum campus, enhancing public understanding of military history through artistic, expressive, and functional design. It prioritizes ecological restoration, sustainability, water resilience, and community benefits. Inspired by the military values of discipline, it features a simple yet orderly site layout and symbolic material selection for a memorable visitor experience. Landscape architects led sustainability efforts and integrated artistic landforms seamlessly. The project’s success prompted the institution to relocate its entire operation to the campus upon completion, highlighting its environmental, cultural, and institutional impact.
