royal society for scotland Part 2 Project 2006 Tadashi Arai Cameron Wiles Mackintosh School of Architecture | UK Tower for the Future: The Royal Society of Scotland Scotland’s Institute of ScienceThis thesis proposal is for a new centre for the Royal Society of Scotland – the Scottish Institute of Science. The creation of a new tower is a response to the round tower of the Museum of Scotland - two towers to celebrate the past and the future of Scotland. While the tower of the Museum of Scotland is made of stone cladding and inspired by a Scottish castle, the new tower should be inspired by technology and a lightness of structure. This floating box itself shows a visible demonstration of the environmental aspect and these eternally changing facades celebrate Scotland’s bright scientific future.

While the tower of the Museum of Scotland is made of stone cladding and inspired by a Scottish castle, the new tower should be inspired by technology and a lightness of structure. This student’s project looks very modest but in fact has a rigorously developed technical language with environmentally responsive facades each responding to the conflicts of context and programme.
