Glasgow Science Centre

We won a national competition to design this scheme — the largest Millennium Commission-funded project in Scotland. We designed three iconic buildings: the country’s first IMAX theatre; the Science Mall with hands-on exhibition space, a planetarium, two theatres, lab, café, shop, offices and workshops; and Scotland’s tallest free-standing structure (concept by Richard Horden Associates), which rotates according to wind direction. The buildings are wrapped in cutting-edge materials including titanium and aluminium, and form a single entity thanks to features such as a linking teflon fabric roof and a ‘discovery’ tunnel.
