Balmori Associates and Leeser Architecture are the recipients of the 2008 AIA, New York Chapter Design Award Project Honor
The Museum, its Scientific Research Center and Laboratory were established to study not only Siberian mammoths, but also Yakutsk’s Permafrost layer: a condition that makes the ground surface prone frost heave. With each freezing and thawing cycle, soil and stones shift into self organizing patterns and creates a unique condition known only to that region.

This integration of interface between structure and nature, the trademark of Balmori Associates, provided the twist that ultimately helped the project to win. read more
