TOPIC - SCIENCE CITY

INTRODUCTION

Science city is the community with diverse network of interactive science


museums, exhibitions, workshops, seminar halls etc. that participates in
communicating the phenomenon of science behind its exhibits. It is a city with
cluster of buildings dedicated to different aspects of science and it sits together
communicating with each other forming a community of its own. A Science city
can be place where two types of people come. One category is the crowd coming
for enjoyment and purpose of recreation just like any other museum. The other
type of crowd that comes to the place is mostly the children and school children.
The design priorities are given to the organised school trips because these are the
crowd those will get maximum benefit out of the project in the form of knowledge.

Many methods are used to bring science closer to people. Many attempts are being
made to create interests among the people. Besides many other things a science
centre is a place which not only entertains the visitors but also plays a significant
role in improving their knowledge. In most of the science cities the basic building
elements those are present are a convention centre, science exploration hall, space
odyssey and dynamotion complex. A whole building runs to achieve a certain aim
that is to educate and entertain the visitors. The Science museums in India is
maintained and coordinated by the NCSM (National Council of Science
Museums). Under this council there are 27 museums running successfully in
different parts of India and many more under the process of development.

AIM

To capture and represent mankind’s understanding of space in the design of an


architectural building of a science city. To design a space for the public & users
considering circulation patterns, open spaces, appropriate lighting & acoustical
treatment features to incorporate in the further building design.

To focus the influence of architectural space through meaningful connecting


experiences.

SITE LOCATION: Suttur, Mysore, Karnataka


Mysore: A Science City on a 25-acre land near Suttur in Nanjangud Taluk, 25 kms from Mysore,
being built in joint collaboration by the Centre and State, could be another science hotspot of
the country. The Science City will popularise basic science and will have scientific galleries,
planetariums, space theatres, 3-Dimention demonstrations, astro technology, science models
from across the world, animated models of evolution and ‘Science on a Sphere.’

It will also house museums, science park and exhibition galleries, which would deal with the
modern advancements in astronomy, biology and other scientific disciplines.
