The science and technology centre is a landscape building ensemble, realized as an architectural scientific place that provides an open house for the Ukrainian scientific community. The building's composition controls laboratories, meeting and conference halls, a public digital library, and diversified office spaces that function in connection with a united leveled-up landscape green media belt. The media platfrom or media belt is an entrance public line and a connector that provides easy communication between different buildings of the whole ensemble. As an informative transmitter media beld brings public activity and promotes a complex program of the STC building over the local region. Such a belt aesthetically enriches the public architecture of the place and functions as a contemporary industrial attractor. Seasonal over-roof space could be re-designed and expanded depending on the program's needs. The project was a private commission in the frame of a regional development program and planned for a realization in the 2025 year.
