The extension of the granada science park in granada, spain was design by carlos ferrater and jimenez brasa architects near the genil river. the building is appear like a large volume from above, with inflections for its various parts.

each ‘program container’ holds a specific exhibition or function and the space connecting them
is used for the park’s administration. the design allows for a wide variety of programming flexibility. looking at the building from a distance, the roof’s form echoes the granada mountains behind it. this topographic idea was a key part of the architect’s design and the skylights that it permits bath the interior with natural light.

Granada Science Park or the Parque De Las Ceincas is one of the few places in Granada where the children will really enjoy spending a few hours. So, if you have a little one with you who are getting a little bored seeing all the museums and historical sights then give him a dose of the Granada Science Park.

The park opens at 10 am in the morning and keeps entertaining the kiddos and the grown ups alike till 7 pm in the evening. These are the timings for Tuesdays to Saturdays. On Sundays the Granada Science Park opens at the same time and closes a little bit early at 3 pm in the afternoon.
