The center will feature sciencebased, hands-on activities that empower Syria’s children with greater confidence, a richer understanding of their fast-changing world, and a strong sense of pride and individual responsibility. The core building was designed in Bentley Architecture and Bentley Structural, but the rose-inspired petal design proved to be the most challenging.
