Best Architectural Design for Museum

About the project (provided by the applicant)
Relicta is an architectural museum inspired by the graceful form of a turtle symbolizing protection, endurance, and timeless wisdom. Its domed, layered design echoes a turtle’s shell, yet its futuristic curves and bold presence often spark comparisons to an alien ship. This dual identity blends nature and imagination, grounding the structure in earthly symbolism while inviting curiosity about the unknown. Relicta stands as a tribute to history, housed in a form that feels both ancient and otherworldly.
