With an exterior entirely composed of reflective glass, Project 2606, the Human History Museum seeks to hold a mirror up to society as a whole and asks the questions: what are Homo Sapiens?  Are we truly humain?  Or are we truly just another species hell bent on survival of the fittest?  

To this end, architecture is a calling to our greater good.  At its core lay the principals which separate humans from mere animals, or one would hope so.  This begs yet additional questions: can a work of architecture with a simplistic parti of reflective surfaces literally hold a mirror up to society?  Can it ask us to answer the question of why we elect leaders that wage war against our own kind?  To ignore with complete indifference the suffering of a child in a third world or war torn region that many first worlders have never heard of?  And finally, to use the words of Abraham Lincoln, can a work of architecture really serve as a calling to "our better angels?"
