Carnegie Science Center

Carnegie Science Center

The design for the extension to the existing Science Center accommodates a new Cyber City exploring the latest technology in virtual reality, robotics, electronics and surgical techniques. The diagonal tower presents diagonally oriented exhibition spaces while an atrium with a ramp connects all seven floor-levels of the tower. A glazed elevator follows the same trajectory as the ramp, dissecting the tower diagonally. The Y-shaped addition consists of three tubes. The two frontal tubes contain exhibition programs, while the third tube takes in visitors from the car and bus parks. There is continuous play on the relations between inside and outside, culminating in a panoramic terrace with a view of downtown. The landscape accommodates all the parking demands while boat commuters are facilitated with a small docking infrastructure at the marina.
