The first space of its kind in Asia, Science Gallery Bengaluru will deliver an innovative, ever-­changing programme of exhibitions and events to engage 15-­25 year old students at the dynamic interface between art and science. The site is in North Bangalore along a main road and highway. The design takes cues form the site and its existing landscape. The site reveals a clearing between the wonderful trees.

This clearing needs to accommodate a ground floor lobby and more public functions as well as an entrance forecourt that can be open to sky.The south side has a cluster of trees that provides a wonderful outdoor setting and acts as a buffer between the existing building and the new addition. The west and north offer a serene rear yard to the building. A storm water channel runs along the northern periphery of the site.
