# Mathematical Gallery Designs Zaha Hadid Will Design the London Science Museum Mathematics Gallery By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-09-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mathematics-gallery References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/zaha-hadid-math-gallery-london-science-museum/33773/) & [sciencemuseum.org.uk](http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/) World-renowned architect Zaha Hadid has been tasked with designing the David and Claudia Harding Mathematics Gallery at the [London Science Museum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/growth-form), as part of the facility's ongoing redevelopment. The gallery is named after a couple who provided an $8 million donation, and is set to open in 2016. Hadid appears to be the perfect choice for the project not just because of her status as one of the world's foremost architects, but because she actually studied mathematics and was inspired after a visit to the London Science Museum aged 10. The mathematics gallery will be arranged to as to adhere to the turbulence field data of the Handley Page airplane exhibit, which will be suspended from the ceiling and serve as the gallery's centerpiece. The airplane was once used to research complex interactive mathematical equations. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Mathematical Exhibit Designs:** Architects and designers are using mathematical concepts to create unique exhibits and experiences. - **Science Museum Redesigns:** Science museums are rethinking their exhibit layouts and design to offer immersive and interactive experiences. - **Stem-themed Art:** Artists are incorporating science, math, and technology themes into their work, blurring the line between art and science. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture and Design:** The architecture and design industry can explore the use of mathematical concepts and data to inform their creations and push the boundaries of traditional exhibit design. - **Museums and Cultural Institutions:** Museums and cultural institutions have an opportunity to incorporate STEM themes into their exhibits and attract a wider audience with immersive and interactive experiences. - **Art and Technology:** Art and technology industries can collaborate and explore the intersection of science, math, and art to create innovative and thought-provoking works. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Galactic-Themed Sci-Fi Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-cloud.md) - [Modular Tent Classroom Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zaha-hadid-architects-2.md) - [Dynamic Installation Science Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hainan-science-museum.md) - [Nature-Inspired Artful Garden Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/henderson-art-garden.md) - [Comprehensive Gallery Renovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dulwich-picture-gallery.md) - [Ribbon-Like Dynamic Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capital-international-exhibition.md) - [Infinity Loop-Shaped Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yohoo-museum.md) - [Sweeping Culture Centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/river-culture-and-art-centre.md) - [Artist-Home Gallery Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gainsborough-house.md)
