Environmental design for the front courtyard of the Coimbra Science Museum by occasion of the exhibition celebrating Charles Darwin's 200th birthday and the 150 years of the initial publication of the book On the Origin of Species.
The letters forming DARWIN were used to create a spacial timeline marking the major events of life on planet Earth. Information about each significant event was placed on the side of each letter.
