From Ennead Architects:
Defining the threshold between nature and culture and embodying the Museum’s mission to illuminate the natural world through scientific inquiry, educational outreach, mutual cultural experience and human engagement, the Museum is conceived as an abstract extension and transformation of the land: its formal and material qualities derive from the region’s natural landscape of rock, soil, minerals and vegetation.
Utah’s natural environment memorializes the story of how human beings interpreted their world and their land over one thousand years ago. The material quality of the building’s exterior roots it in its context, recalling the importance of landscape in Utah’s human and natural history.
