# Planning

City of Science made us think of a model with an urbanized structure and the spirit of a city.
A city with a new model of physical and social principles, where there is a correspondence between physical experiences and scientific methods.
A city where the knowledge is the culture, freedom is the horizon, interest and curiosity are the roads, densities, light and shadows are orientations.

Science spreads in the overall environment.
Ground level is the Experience.
The ground level, a complete free horizon, is the Public Park where all the Exhibitions Pavillions are scattered along the site.
First level is the Research.
Second level is the Practice.

Our main architectural feature are the vertical sticks. In additional to their basic functions (structure, light and ventilation) they are the elements that create the dialogue with the surrounding environment and landscape.
