The Science Pyramid was both conceptually and functionally inspired by nature. The facade was developed to mimic the hexagonal structure of a honeycomb. The pyramid’s two peaks and 16 facets twist and turn towards the sky as if it was a result of the earth’s colliding tectonic plates or how a plant sprout would penetrate the ground surface. Located in the center of the gardens, the pyramid’s proportions are a inverse of the adjacent amphitheater, creating perfect harmony between the building and the surrounding landscape. The pyramid is nested adjacent to an existing pond, and a glass spine bisects the building to maintain views of the water feature and gardens through the building.
