This museum is dedicated to the experiential understanding of cultural heritage dating back to the Neolithic period in the Philippines. The overall structure is conceived as a cave-like space that integrates water and greenery, in stark contrast to the conventional box typology of museums. On the top floor, a cluster of small buildings resembling a village is placed above a water feature, regenerating the relationship between nature and history within the urban context.
