Some instruments and objects within the gallery clearly reference their mathematical origin. Oct 31, 2014 TEXT Will Georgi For too long, simultaneous equations and quadratic formulas have lain neglected and unloved in textbooks at the back of disused school lockers. london's science museum has chosen zaha hadid to complete what the institution calls the 'world's foremost gallery of mathematics'. The layout and lines of the gallery represent the air that would have flowed around this historic aircraft in flight, from the positioning of the showcases and benches to the three-dimensional curved surfaces of the central pod structure. Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects (Zaha Hadid, along with being an architect, was also trained as a mathematician), the new gallery presents mathematics through technology and applied science. On 8 December 2016 the Science Museum will open an inspirational new mathematics gallery, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects.

On December 8, 2016, the Science Museum on Exhibition Road, London, opened a new permanent exhibition dedicated to mathematics, entitled The Winton Gallery. Inspired by the Handley Page aircraft, the design is driven by equations of airflow used in the aviation industry. Just as her Notes unravelled the abstract world of the analytical engine and its logic to generations beyond, we hope the design of the Mathematics Gallery complements the curatorial ambitions to inspire and engage further generations with the instinctive and physical aspects of mathematics. Text description provided by the architects. The gallery is the first permanent, public museum exhibition designed by Zaha Hadid Architects.

It was a terrible shock for us all when Dame Zaha died suddenly in March this year, but I am sure that this gallery will be a lasting tribute to this world-changing architect and provide inspiration for our millions of visitors for many years to come.”. Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, the new gallery tells the story of mathematics through the language of technology. While mathematical logic and geometry can provide an intuitive model to understand the natural world, computational tools allow us to examine scenarios that enable a nuanced understanding of the mechanisms of nature.
