You can’t create architecture from science, but architecture can create the worlds and imagination for the future of scientific discoveries. Architecture has the ability to be more aware and to question the traditional conventions about society and space, and instead of proclaiming the conventional approaches to science where technological development or societal initiatives are driving the science agenda, the following paper illustrates the ability for architecture to create worlds of inclusion to shape a new science. For a long time science and the technological development has determined the way architects design spaces and interactions by focusing on the traditional disciplinary boundaries of science as a starting point for new research questions. However realizing that the scientific problems of today are far more complex and the world more multicultural, we can discuss the science of tomorrow with far more relieving results by proclaiming a performative design agenda. The paper discusses the design development of the NoRA project for the 10th Internationa
