DESIGN DETAILS
DESIGN NAME:
Field of Uncertainty

PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Museum

INSPIRATION:
The Museum of uncertainty within excavation triggers the excitement of discovery, while searching through these uncertainties, we need to read and uncover the stories behind them so we can discover and re-tell these majestic stories in the future. The excitement to find out the history of the Tar Pit is captured by lab research that slowly discovers the story behind each bone and inform us the nature of the Tar Pit in the past.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Museum of Uncertainty at La Brea Tar Pits celebrates the site's history, blending modern architecture with prehistoric elements. It offers an immersive experience, with the tar showcasing fossils and serving as an active excavation site. The project aims to engage visitors, sparking curiosity and conversations while honoring the site's rich history.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
Comprising three distinct structures, the project offers visitors a multifaceted experience. Commencing at Wilshire Boulevard, guests embark on a journey that simulates submersion beneath the tar before arriving at the museum's central gathering area. Within the building, they encounter a fascinating exhibition featuring fossils from both storage and the hallway. The research building interconnects various excavation sites, creating a labyrinthine circulation, where visitors witness the excavation process on the ground level. In the institution building, visitors can attend lectures while gazing across the expansive excavation sites.
