Would you like to step inside an abstract mathematical space? Soon you'll be able to do just that, in the maths gallery at the Science Museum in London, due to open in 2016.

We talk to Shajay Bhooshan from Zaha Hadid Architects, the lead designer on the project, about how you create a mathematical space, and the role of maths in design and architecture.

You can read more about the gallery in the accompanying news story.
