The Museum of Science & History (MOSH) today released exterior renderings for its new Museum on the Northbank. MOSH has been on the Southbank for more than 50 years. It plans to move to the Northbank.
DLR Group will collaborate with kasper architects + associates, a Jacksonville-based architecture firm, and SCAPE, a New York-based landscape architecture firm, on the capital project that aims to relocate MOSH to a four-acre parcel on the Northbank, the museum announced.
The museum said in a release that the design, created by DLR Group in partnership with kasper architects + associates and SCAPE, is “inspired by the movement and flow of the water that has played such an important role in the history of Jacksonville.”
Three levels of the museum — the Natural Ecosystem, the Cultural Ecosystem and the Innovation Ecosystem — will be linked by a spiral circulation path that links the lower level to a sheltered rooftop terrace where events can be held.
The rooftop terrace will provide a 360-degree view of downtown Jacksonville, TIAA Bank Field and the Southbank skyline.
