Shenzhen Natural History Museum, Shenzhen, China
This elegant building will be gracing Shenzhen by the end of 2025, as one of the city's '10 Cultural Facilities of the New Era'. Designed by 3XN, B+H Architects and Zhubo Design, Shenzhen's new Natural History Museum will "rise seamlessly from the river delta", according to B+H, its walls echoing the undulating curves of the city waterfront.
The green roof will be a public park, with every turn framing "a new spectacular view over the surrounding park, hills and lake" from dedicated viewing terraces.
