Today, in many cities, making a science center (has been) planning and aiming to spread the science. As an architect when we consider the purpose of uniting science with society, we come across the things that are our pieces and are experienced at first, spaces. Accordingly, we aimed every spaces that we interpret in Çaycuma Science Center appeals people in Çaycuma from the world where they live to the world of its own and spreading the mystery in itself to the environment while making them curious. On the other hand, we want the area that we design, become a place that colors locals’ routine life as a quest as well as a friend coming from far away, like a neighborhood with narrow streets where old people have a chat, children playing ball. Thus, Çaycuma Science Center is not a strange place; on the contrary, can exists as a street ‘people of that place’ are used to.

The site is approached as a unifying point of campus as well as a unit/group that is included to the whole schema trees in the project site were the primary criteria while the structuring decisions were made In addition to that, two sub-zones were determined in existing green area, and function divisions have been made via taking environment settlement into consideration.
