This building function (Science Centre turned Astronomy Observatory) has purely been created through the brainstorming of buildings requiring differing levels of people throughout times of the day. But what other purpose will this building have??
With a school in close proximity to the site and the concept of 'interactive architecture', the most suitable building function should be providing an educational component to the area. This led me to the study of constellations and looking at the night time sky views from the site. Conceptually, I thought the patterns discovered could provide some facade detailing or lead to the construction of certain screens to frame a view of a certain constellation system.
