History of civilizations and their existence is revealed through a myriad of preserved traces, excavations, and artifacts. In contrast to the remnants of civilization, we commonly discuss the history of nature and climate changes in terms of time periods. While the development of civilizations occurred sporadically and in various locations, the evolution of nature took place through extensive horizontal layers, which became stacked upon one another, leaving imprints of the past in the depths. They are preserved in sedimentary stone-loess. The Kapela loess profile on the Danube in Batajnica was chosen as project’s site. Situated in the former Pannonian Sea, this profile offers valuable insights into natural changes throughout time. The project explores relationships between architecture, time, and nature. Its concept focuses the creation of spaces in the site’s underground levels. Each space is defined by one of the natural periods that occurred within the corresponding layer. By arranging these distinct exhibition spaces at different depths, the project connects the periods, their locations, and the species that inhabited them. To convey the chronological nature of the project, a time vertical is projected above the existing layers. As time progresses, the ground level rises, which is visualized through a time vertical.
