The landscape of the Museo de Ciencias Ambientales at the University of Guadalajara provides an interpretation of the museum’s mission to understand the city and to inspire the conservation of the nature that sustains it. The design marries traditional methods of Spanish colonial planning with the natural phenomena found in the sunken pools and ravines of Jalisco. Visitors are immersed in the biodiversity of western Mexico with over 450 species of native plants in large thematic gardens that activate spaces for relaxation and community gathering.
