Stockholm Science Museum is a 2017 design study by UFO Architecture – Stockholm Studio for a new public science museum in Stockholm, Sweden. The project explores how cross-laminated timber construction can support a contemporary museum environment for science education, exhibition and public engagement.
The proposal investigates the science museum as both a cultural building and a learning environment. Exhibition spaces, public circulation and educational programmes are developed as part of a spatial experience intended to make science visible, accessible and engaging for a broad audience.
Cross-laminated timber is treated as more than a construction system. It becomes a way to shape atmosphere, structure, material presence and environmental identity within the building. The project connects UFO Architecture’s wider research into timber design with public architecture and educational space.
Stockholm Science Museum reflects UFO Architecture’s interest in CLT construction, cultural buildings and spatial environments where learning, material innovation and public experience are brought together.
