This is the Science Centre in Glasgow, UK designed by BDP-  the largest interdisciplinary practice of architects, designers, engineers and urbanists in Europe.

The following text is from the architects:

‘Engaging science centre secures triple first for Scotland.

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.’
