Astronomy and Space Science Gallery
Architecture here becomes a cosmic instrument.
Conceived as a spatial embodiment of the solar system, the Astronomy and Space Science Gallery transforms abstract astronomical phenomena into an immersive, navigable experience. A luminous central void acts as the sun, anchoring a constellation of orbiting galleries that choreograph the visitor’s journey from the familiar to the infinite. At its core, a spherical planetarium appears to levitate above an amphitheatre, collapsing structure, spectacle, and learning into a single architectural moment—where science is not merely observed, but physically inhabited.
