Science center

Science center inspired by the industrial and aircraft history of the Holešovice quarter is designed to represent a place for interactive study and lifelong learning for all generations. Located near the river Vltava, next to Pražske tržnice, architecture of the object follows genious loci of the place. The industrial spirit is present nowadays as many buildings have been preserved and region has been regenerated with a change of functions. Furthermore, as the first aircraft manufactures were found in this region, the motive of inner structure of airplanes was interpolated on the facades and airplanes are enriching the interior. The concept of the glass box was introduced with attention to make the inner structure of the center more visiable and attractive to the passangers. Except transparency, reflection of the river and surronding nature as well as the industrial buildings, were the reasons for bringing on this glass envelope around the object.
