From the objective of designing a museum using the ECOLOPE approach, a work has evolved that breaks down the static requirements of a museum and brings it into harmony with the ecosystem at the construction site. By focusing on processes that shape our environment and museum institutions, a solution space was opened in which a design emerged that benefits both areas and allows for mutual constructive influence. 

The theory introduces the ECOLOPE research approach and provides insights into its thematic backround, which ranges from already proven approaches such as Animal Aided Design to Cohabitation, highlighting the relevance of giving equal consideration to nonhuman species. Since the resulting interspecies space can only be realized in outdoor spaces, examples of exhibition forms and art practices with or in nature are presented and put in contrast with the white cube and classical museum architectures, which are currently facing growing challenges. As a possible reaction, the unstable model of the European Kunsthalle is presented and the ‚Keimzelle‘ is defined as a platform, for the developing future institution. Tim Ingold‘s critique of the static view of things opens up the solution space of processuality for a museum institution with interspecies architecture and, together with the analysis of the Wienerberg as the project site, serves as the basis for the concept. The theoretical explanations add up to a catalog of requirements. 

For the Museum Metamorphosis the recreational area Wienerberg is defined as the platform. Based on this, the building typology of the pavilion is defined and realizes a processual structure that embodies the unstable model. The materials deadwood, clay and stone are in mutual exchange with fauna and flora and enrich the curatorial possibilities.
