Our concept is about bringing the two realms of arts and science together; art being about exploring the intangible and creativity whereas science is about analyzing the tangible and finding solutions. Due to these differences, there is a disconnect and we see an opportunity to allow mutualism between the two areas through architecture.

The program vision is to promote collaboration between scientists of the research center who study urban wildlife and artists who relay the data and deliver messages to the public audience through their expressive art.
