"Museum of the Anthropocene" by Felix Cheong 
  

Anthropo meaning ‘man’ and Cene meaning ‘new’ stands for a new age which we have unknowingly entered, but are all complicit in creating. This era is marked by the radioactive elements in our minerals, the nitrogen particles in our soils, and the profusion of plastics in our seas. These bands of materials can be read like a timeline, a narrative of humanity’s actions on this planet over the last millennia. The Museum of the Anthropocene uses the architecture to retell our history in a similar manner. Our recorded past is condensed and expressed through the layering of materials that comprise the museum’s central core. New rings are continuously added in this never ending build. As visitors look up they are able to read the architecture like a book, telling the stories of our great triumphs and even greater follies.
