Architekton在亚利桑那州科学中心的新成员致力于激励、教育和娱乐科学方面的人们。该中心位于凤凰城市中心的遗产和科学园。该中心拥有350多个永久展品，每年可为400，000名游客提供互动体验。除了永久性的展览外，亚利桑那科学中心还举办了许多全国巡回展览。这家非营利性公司为所有年龄层的游客提供特殊教育和科学活动.

Architekton's new addition to the Arizona Science Center is focused on inspiring, educating, and entertaining people about science. The Center is located in Heritage and Science Park in the heart of downtown Phoenix. Home to over 350 permanent hands-on exhibits, the Center is able to provide their 400,000 annual visitors with interactive experiences. Aside from the permanent exhibitions, Arizona Science Center has featured a number of nationally traveling exhibitions. This non-profit corporation provides special educational programs and science activities for visitors of all ages.

游客和顾客现在有一个新的可识别的入口和大厅到亚利桑那科学中心。新增的9，000 SF加强了进入中心的顺序，提供了一个庞大的多用途大厅、室内排队和最先进的售票区域。该项目涉及改造目前的设施，由安托万·普雷多克于1997年设计，目的是为主要入口提供一个全面的解决方案，以纠正无障碍问题，确保安全的校车下车区，并提供更多的空间来容纳大型群体。新的大厅为中心提供了一个大型活动和筹款活动的新场所。

Visitors and patrons now have a new identifiable entry and lobby to the Arizona Science Center. The 9,000 sf addition enhances the entry sequence to the Center, providing a voluminous multi-use lobby, indoor queuing and state-of-the-art ticketing area. The project involved remodeling the current facility, designed by Antoine Predock in 1997, to provide a comprehensive solution to the main entrance that rectifies accessibility issues, ensures safe school bus drop-off zones and provides additional space to accommodate large groups. The new lobby gives the Center a new venue for large scale events and fundraising galas.

亚利桑那科学中心每天有超过1200名学生通过它的大门。在这个项目之前，学生们会在凤凰城的极端气候下排队排长队。该中心不允许在任何时候因施工而关闭。所有顾客和工作人员的安全是最令人关切的问题。

Arizona Science Center sees more than 1,200 students each day pass through its doors. Before this project, students would wait to queue into the Center in long lines in the extreme Phoenix climate. The Center was not allowed to be shut down by the construction at any time. The safety of all patrons and staff was of paramount concern.

建造工程必须在几个月内完成，以便在新的空间举办该中心最大规模的筹款活动，并为流行的展览“身体工程大脑”做准备。新增加的预算非常有限，来自中心董事会成员辛苦挣来的捐款。钢弯曲的形状与建筑师设计理念的雕塑性很好地配合。

The construction had to be completed within a few months time in order to stage the Center's largest fundraising event in the new space and to prepare for the popular exhibit "Body Works + The Brain." The budget for the new addition was very modest and derived from hard-earned donations by the Center's Board Members. The shapes of the steel bents lend very well with the sculptural nature of the architects design concept.

一种改进的预设计金属建筑系统被用于包围亚利桑那科学中心的入口广场和外部。非凡的屋顶形状是利用红点预设计系统弯曲的不同长度和角度。设计师需要围护新的大厅区域，而不需要安装新的结构柱，而跨越近70‘。红点预工程系统是在现场外预建的，在没有额外基础工作的现有混凝土结构上快速安装-并且本质上非常有效地覆盖了大量的空间。使用量：14，000 SF面积。

A modified pre-engineered metal building system was used to enclose and exterior entry plaza at the Arizona Science Center. The extraordinary roof shape was created using the Red Dot Pre-Engineered System Bents of varying lengths and angles. The designers needed to envelop the new lobby area without installing new structural columns while spanning almost 70'. The Red Dot pre-engineering system is pre-built off-site and erected on-site very quickly—set on the existing concrete structure without additional foundation work--and inherently encloses large volumes of space very efficiently. Quantity used: 14,000 sf area covered.

有无限数量的“皮肤”系统，可用于补充其主机标志性建筑。在完成了使用预先设计的金属建筑系统的其他项目，并知道这个建筑系统可以多么优雅地呈现，该系统是团队的建筑师的第一选择。使用BIM和Sketch-up建模工具可以完美地执行这些系统。

There were an infinite number of "skin" systems that could be applied to complement its host iconic building. Having completed other projects using pre-engineered metal building systems and knowing how elegantly this building system could be rendered, the system was the very first choice by the team's architects. The use of the BIM and Sketch-up modeling tools allow these systems to be executed flawlessly.

红点预工程金属建筑系统的选择，因为它完全解决了非常复杂的问题与该项目，如上文所讨论的。RedDot允许该项目的资金比任何其他达到这些目标的建筑系统都要深入。该系统的多功能性使得设计师能够以非常有创意的方式创造出大量的空间。

The Red Dot pre-engineered metal building system was selected because it completely solved the very complex issues related to this project as discussed above. Red Dot allowed the project dollars to go further than any other building system meeting these goals. The versatility of this system allowed the designers to create large volumes of space in very creative ways.
