The "Mind Zone" - one of fourteen individual exhibition spaces within the Millennium Dome - was inspired by the structural complexity of the human mind.
It consists of three overlapping volumes, which unfold to create a continuous surface that can be floor wall or ceiling to allow for a fluid perception of space.
As a narrative strategy, the three elements complement the primary mental functions; "input", "process", and "output" represented variously through the distortion of perspective, educational exhibits, sculpture, computers, audiovisual installations and interactive elements. The approach is more interactive and thought provoking than purely educational.
The materials used are all highly advanced: the surface consists of a unique lightweight transparent panel made from glass fibre skins with an aluminium honeycomb structure. Similarly, the base steel structure is layered with translucent materials.
