Abstract

The Urban Nature Project is the Natural History Museum’s bold response to accelerating biodiversity loss and urbanisation, reimagining its underused grounds as a dynamic educational landscape. Led by Feilden Fowles, the transformation integrates two sensitively designed timber and stone pavilions – the Nature Activity Centre and Garden Kitchen – into a revitalised network of outdoor galleries. These additions align with the museum’s legacy of progressive renewal, zoning the site from prehistoric past to ecological futures. Includes architect’s view, consultant’s view, project data, sustainability data, Landscape designer’s view, client’s view, working detail. Architect: Feilden Fowles
