Graham Harman argues that science undermines objects, it reduces things to their components to explain them and that on the contrary objects always withdraw themselves and can never be fully understood.

Instead of creating an edifice for science, the design for the Çaycuma Science Museum treats the building as an object that isn’t a unified whole with legible tectonics, spatial and formal hierarchies, but something with multiple profiles and no discernable shape or form.


Different programmatic elements are treated as separate objects that are loosely tied together without any suggestion of directionality. Rooves, walls and façade panels blend into each other.
