This thesis evolved from the idea of how architecture can evoke stories through the Human movement, emotion and imagination. The Apocalyptorium is hence an experiential Museum that takes these three aspects to build a narrative which takes us through the path we are taking in the face of the current Apocalypse, i.e. Climate Change. The journey through the different exhibits evokes a state of alarm which is intended to jolt the user and inculcate within him an urgency to act.
