Magian Design Studio was the winner of a design competition held by the Museum of Science, Boston for their Current Science and Technology Center. The Center occupies an area of approximately 4,000 square feet in a large open space surrounded by balconies. Anthony Styant-Browne was Magian’s consultant architect and Cambridge Seven Architects were the Museum’s compliance architects.

The Center includes a stage suspended over a void. This stage is used by staff for live presentations with a four-way cluster of plasma display panels which can be winched down from above. The stage also has the capability for broadcast and has a temporary exhibit space with multiple touchscreens and plasma display panels. The Current Science and Technology Center is regularly used as a venue for evening functions.

Magian was responsible for:

• the architectural design
• design and specification of presentation systems including multi-screen plasma clusters, video and lighting
• sound design and implementation of specialist control software systems
• design and production of multimedia programs for the multi-screen stage presentations, touchscreens and exhibit plasma display panels
• design and production of the website

CS&T Center staff are able to change the content of the presentations and exhibits daily so that they can address new and current topics in science and technology.

The Magian MMaP System is used to publish and update the multimedia content at high-resolution to the multi-screen stage presentations, the exhibit touchscreens and the exhibit plasma panels. The MMaP System  simultaneously takes the same content as the touchscreen programs, resizes and reformats it and publishes it at low-resolution to the website.

The American Association of Museums awarded a Gold MUSE Award in 2002 for Magian’s work on the Museum's Current Science and Technology Center.
