This conceptual design, for what would become the world's largest science center, is inspired from an imaginary tree-covered "island of discovery" that is filled with unexpected treasures. As on meanders through this vast multi-level facility, one would encounter unexpected discoveries about science, technology, ecology and Chinese culture. Total gross building area is 1,238,000 sq. ft. This international invited competition entry was developed in collaboration with SBA of Boston.
