Art and science are two seemingly remote forms of knowledge, largely a consequence of professional specialization and compartmentalized education.
The stereotype of the two cultures, the sciences and the humanities, arose from the study of this imposing separation, to refer to that knowledge gap.
The reality is that science and art are connected and that no form of knowledge is impervious to another.
To give some examples: How could a plastic work be created without the techniques propitiated by science? How could we interpret the choice of materials?

The City of Arts and Sciences (in Valencian and officially Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències) is an architectural, cultural and entertainment complex of the city of Valencia (Spain).
The complex was designed by Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela, together with the engineers who designed the structural design of the roofs of the L'Oceanografic (the largest aquarium in Europe) Alberto Domingo and Carlos Lázaro.
It was inaugurated on June 9, 1998 with the opening of El Hemisférico. The last major component of the City is the Agora, located between the bridge of l'Assut de l'Or and l'Oceanogràfic.
The City of Arts and Sciences is located at the end of the old Turia riverbed (Jardín del Turia), a channel that became a garden in the 1980s, after the diversion of the river through the great flood of Valencia in 1957. In 2007, was one of the winners of the 12 Treasures of Spain contest.
