Appreciation towards Kuehn Malvezzi for providing the following description:

生命空间（Espace pour la vie）是加拿大最大的自然科学博物馆，博物馆委托Kuehn Malvezzi事务所同蒙特利尔的Pelletier de Fontenay事务所、Jodoin Lamarre Pratte事务所以及位于柏林的景观工作室atelier le balto事务所一起，设计新的蒙特利尔昆虫馆。2014年，他们凭借融合建筑与自然的理念赢得了该项目的国际竞赛。新昆虫馆代替了该市从1990年开始使用的前昆虫馆，详细地展示了保存下来的昆虫和活物种的栖息地。设计建立在对拥有400年历史的博物馆、橘子园、温室以及其他用于分类和展示自然世界的建筑的详细分析之上。在重新思考人类和非人类生物学关系的关键时刻，新蒙特利尔昆虫馆向公众开放，为自然历史博物馆提供了重要的新方向。

Espace pour la vie, Canada’s largest natural science museum complex, appointed Kuehn Malvezzi alongside Montréal offices Pelletier de Fontenay and Jodoin Lamarre Pratte architectes, jointly with Berlin-based land- scape architects atelier le balto, to design the new Montréal Insectarium. The partnership won an international competition for the project with a concept to fuse architecture and nature in 2014. The new insectarium replaces the city’s former insectarium building from 1990, and features detailed displays for preserved insects and habitats for live species to thrive. The design builds on detailed analysis of 400 years of museums, orangeries, greenhouses and other architectures for the categorization and display of the natural world. Opening at a crucial moment for rethinking relationships between human and non-human biology, the new Montréal Insectarium represents a critical new approach for museums of natural history.

建筑外观呈现出三个施工便捷的原型结构，它们与植物园的景观融为一体。首先，用墙围合的蝴蝶花园作为轻松的欢迎空间；而后，顺着花园斜坡向下便到达底部温室，这里设有中央大厅并具有活昆虫的生活环境；温室的另一端，神秘的土丘拔地而起，这个茧状的穹顶内存放着昆虫馆的藏品。在馆内，一条经过精心设计的路线通过无障碍展示和沉浸式的感官体验，消除了人与自然的隔阂，这条路线包括：地下迷宫模拟昆虫的视觉、听觉和运动，迷惑了人的感官；采用喷浆技术制作的穹顶大厅内存放了昆虫馆的珍藏；光线充足的大型温室（Grand Vivarium）使游客可以在昆虫栖息地与其近距离接触。

The external architecture of the Insectarium is visible through three archetypal structures that communicate a light touch construction process with integration into the pre-existing landscape of the Botanical Garden. A walled butterfly garden serves as a relaxing space of welcome. The garden slopes down to the base of a greenhouse which contains a central hall and living environments for live insects. Beyond the greenhouse, an enigmatic planted mound erupts from the surface. This cocoon-like dome holds the insectarium’s collection. Inside, a precisely choreographed route through the building dissolves the divides between the human and the natural with barrier-free displays and immersive sensory experiences: an underground labyrinth disorients human senses and mimics the vision, hearing and movement of insects; a domed shotcrete hall contains the insectarium’s extraordinary collection; and a light-filled Grand Vivarium brings visitors into close contact with insects in their natural habitats.

为了使建筑真正与居民和游客共生，并根据其目标LEED金级认证标准，昆虫馆采用了多种生物气候与可持续发展原则及技术。建筑朝向和使用材料皆使温室可以最大限度地获得太阳能，这些热量被回收并重新分配到建筑其他部分。此外，项目还采用了一系列附加系统，如纺织窗帘、机动百叶窗、地热井、屋顶水回收以及使用当地可持续的无VOC（挥发性有机化合物）材料等，以支持建筑的生物气候方法。

In order to make the building truly symbiotic with its inhabitants and visitors, and in accordance with its targeted LEED Gold certification, the Insectarium incorporates several bioclimatic and sustainable development principles and techniques. The building’s orientation and materiality allow for maximum solar gain in the greenhouse areas. This heat is recovered and redistributed to the rest of the building. A range of additional systems such as textile shades, motorized louvers geothermal wells, roof water recuperation and the use of local, sustaina- ble, VOC-free materials support the building’s bioclimatic approach.
