QUARK
SCIENTIFIC
HUB
The abandoned Yerevan cinema, located on Chokoloskyi Lane in Kyiv, was the focus of our proposal to create a scientific hub. The project extended beyond the cinema to include the first floor of the adjacent research institute and several garages in the courtyard. The goal was to quickly develop a comprehensive plan to popularize science across diverse age and social groups, from children to seniors.
Our concept, named Quark, envisions a comfortable environment for collaboration and scientific interaction. Each space was assigned a distinct function: the cinema hall became the main communication area with a dining space, the institute’s first floor was transformed into a coworking zone for scientists, and the garages were redesigned as a Fab Lab for prototyping and hands-on experiments.
