Exploratorium - Interactive Science Museum and Entertainment Centre

For my thesis design project, I was tasked with selecting a building and its intended use. After conducting thorough research, I chose the iconic Former Bray Head Hotel, a beloved local landmark that serves as a popular destination for families, friends, and tourists from across the globe. To enhance its potential, I propose transforming it into a large science museum and entertainment center, offering both educational and recreational experiences for visitors of all ages.
