Where is Science World?
At the north end of the vibrant Main Street is Science World in Vancouver, an unmistakable landmark for locals. It is located a few blocks east of the 2010 Olympic Village at Main and Terminal, just south of Chinatown. At night, Science World is lit up with thousands of lights creating a memorable skyline. “South of Main”, recently called “SoMa” by the influential Wallpaper magazine, is a hip and gentrifying area where the art scene has exploded with young talent. This area is also historically known as Mount Pleasant. In the 24 blocks, you will find numerous restaurants, furniture stores, artist lofts, clothing stores, art galleries.
Expo Centre at Expo 86
Science World in Vancouver is a stainless steel spherical building architecturally known as a geodesic dome, which was invented and patented by R. Buckminster Fuller. It was Fuller who said that a “dome is a home, from womb to tomb”. By using triangles of various sizes, thirty-one great circles make up the great circle of the geodesic dome. The architect who originally designed Science World for Expo was Bruno Freschi. it was later transformed into what it is today by Boak Alexander in 1989. This science museum of Vancouver, BC was formerly called Expo Centre, a major pavilion for the Expo 86 World's Fair, and held the Futures Theatre.
