The Samos Natural History Museum’s concept manifests a building that aims at signifying the history of nature and comments on the relationship between nature and the built environment, the permanent with the temporary, as well as the solid with the variable. The building program consists of exhibition halls, workshops, an amphitheater, administration offices, a restaurant and an atrium. The course followed by the visitor around the museum is cyclical and consists of a key design feature.
