Orion’s Belt Constellation

Orion’s belt constellation is used to organize negative spaces on the site. This
elucidates the ancient history of Egypt as Orion’s belt was used to organize the
Pyramids, while also celebrating astronomy with architecture.
Public Courtyards
Three main courtyards are created using the organization of Orion’s belt constellation.
These courtyards serve as public spaces which contain outdoor exhibitions, restaurants
and parks. This also helps create green views for the buildings around it.

The negative space serves as the spine of project, acting as a communal space for
public. The negative space defines the plan of ancient Egyptian temples.
Following the idea of wide to narrow spaces, as you walk further into the site.
Floating Volumes
The volumes around the site are pulled up to – oat allowing maximum experience of the
science city by the pedestrian. This also allows shaded landscape area and outdoor
exhibition spaces.
Solar Roof

shaded spaces, reducing heat absorption and maximizing wind movement in the site. The
roof also acts as a solar chip, providing energy for the science city.
