The History of Science Centre acts as a mediator bringing past Islamic sciences of the \”golden age\” in relation to the current university studies at the German University of Technology (GUtech) in Halban, Oman. The building aims to create a link between art and science with nature and geometry whilst symbolizing infinity and divinity.

Numerous innovative techniques were used to deliver the successful design of the project. The building is divided into two sections; the external geometrical standalone concrete shell enveloping the inner building.
