Architecture of ArtScience Museum

The brain behind this marvellous architecture is Moshie Safdie. The architectural style of the art science museum is a perfect embodiment of what its name - Art and Science. The lotus-inspired building is made of 10 extended "fingers" that are supposed to be petals with a unique circular base that holds them together, portraying a structure similar to that of a concrete lotus flower. Each of the fingers features different gallery spaces, and hosts skylights at the fingertips, illuminating the interior curved dramatically. Not just this, the museum is designed in an eco-friendly way where the roof channels rainwater from the atrium, at the centre of the building, to a small reflective pool which contributes in making this place an architectural wonder.
