It is obvious that architect Ciaran O'Connor knows children. You can visualise excited tots running up the ramps that he has swept around the side of his proposed science museum, known as the Exploration Station, which is set to go on site next year, if all goes to plan. As they dash up the slopes, looking out of the lengthy windows that gradually rise in height as the ramps climb, they are not to know that this whole building has been designed in accordance with the mathematical and natural law of the Golden Section, or that the perspectives in the building are exaggerated through the use of effects employed by Andre La Notre in the Chateau de Chantilly gardens in France or that the air they are breathing is being brought in through natural vents.
