This proposal to the Exploratory
Science Museum was designed to turn it a landmark in the Campus of the State
University of Campinas - UNICAMP and a cultural reference of great symbolic
value for the city. The development of the architectural project aimed a
careful adaptation to the environment, maintaining the original topography of
the land, with valorization of the landscape and integration of the existent
buildings.Its program, which includes
exhibition spaces, rooms for classes and experiments, technical and
administrative sectors, was interpreted in a way to balance the autonomy and
integration of spaces. The flow in the building is provided through independent access or incorporated in a
defined course.The dynamic and interactive
character of the contemporary museum led to the design of a versatile space
with open floor plant. Through the installation of a technology support, the
exhibition space allows the development of different kind of exhibition designs,
with the scaling of space by
adding or removing partitions.The result was the creation of a
building with modulated plant, zenith illumination and multiple possibilities
of flows. The architecture of the museum can offer different experiences to its
visitors, according to the strategies adopted to use its space.
