The Biodiversity Museum, located in Cancún, is part of the Parque Cancún project and was developed in collaboration with Kince Arquitectura. The proposal is based on a privileged site within the mangrove ecosystem, proposing an architecture that seeks to integrate with its surroundings and minimise its environmental impact.

The design is inspired by the anatomy of the snake, a symbol of Mayan civilisation, creating a circular exhibition route that guides visitors through the museum. This conceptual idea is translated into a structure whose geometry evokes the animal’s skeleton, where each “rib” defines the shape and spatial organisation of the building.

Through the use of parametric modelling and BIM tools, the various structural elements and the precast concrete panels that make up the museum’s envelope were conceptualised. The architecture is conceived as a sculpture open to the landscape, allowing nature to become visually and environmentally integrated into the visitor experience.
