The site of the project is located near the future Liège station designed by Santiago Calatrava. This part of the that became a waste ground after the construction of an administrative complex during the sixties needed a new destiny. Reality appearing in this area had to lead our choices. The program had to be think as a part of the city, connecting the environment with the different parts of the project, and releasing a new social dynamic.

The project for the new Scientific and Technical Museum should question the connection that will exist between the museum and the city. It takes root like urban garden where every experiences of games are possible, a huge autonomous machine which is distinguishable for the environment's general morphology.

The diagram's requirements are mixed on the site without any rules, freely because we have to consider the museum as a great public space where experience of ground gives the visitor the feeling of being in an unusual place where everything is possible, a place where he can wander around freely. The architecture of the museum is extremely random, without any rules, conform to the image of the nature which has never grown in a neglected place.

The ground is rising to let the public life develop itself ( bookshop, library, café¼). Children are let to their own experience of world and space on the game of inclined planes. And, the permanent, temporary, and thematic exhibition rooms, succeeded one to the others with a great freedom to show that sciences and techniques take part in movement. They are inpermanent evolution. Today, Sciences are not based on discoveries anymore, but they are based on experience that everyone verifies.
