Bik van der Pol Butterfly pavilion Macro Museum Rome

Are you really sure that a floor can't also be a ceiling? brings these elements together in an architectural model loosely based on the Farnsworth house. But here the model functions as the temporary home for butterflies - ultimate agents of transformation, change and recycling. Radical change is their life-cycle. Transforming from one state to another, they never are what they appear to be. Visitors can enter the house. The glass walls function twofold: they allow full view on the man-made greenhouse and its visitors inside, and they create a membrane between interior - and museum space. Nature and the audience become spectacle inside the confinements of the museum wall.
