The project design employs parametricism in its most fundamental and simplest sense. The height of the spaces are influenced by the functions beneath: The more public an area, the higher the roof.

A goal was, to bring public and scientists together in a way that it is beneficial for both. Scientists on one hand need the trust of the general public but also financial support through the government. On the other hand the benefits of science to the general public are often not clearly perceived. Despite the progresses in all fields, enabled by the advances of science in the 21st century, the general public seems less interested in supporting scientific research. This is regrettable but understandable, as outcomes in the fundamental sciences probably will not change their own lifeshowever the lives of future generations may depend on it.
