On Koh Samui, this 128-square-meter learning center transforms an existing timber pavilion into an immersive exhibition on Asian elephants — without demolishing a single column. A perforated terracotta-block façade filters tropical light and draws cross-ventilation through the gallery. Cast elephant footprints embedded in the brick floor lead visitors along an eight-zone arc from prehistoric evolution to contemporary conservation, anchored by a life-size Asian elephant skeleton.
