Project description

The design thought revolves around the idea of the rotation of the Golden Ratio, and this is clearly visible in the reception area in relation to the ground lines and the rest of the space.
we see that there is harmony between its lines, which eventually results in lines such as Van Gogh's painting (Starry Night) and the lines of climate and atmosphere,hurricanes and galaxies for the central point in section, the falling piece of the ceiling is the lines of the Golden Ratio and the lines and movement of the solar system. Building contains a public office,a cafe,an exhibition,planetarium, administrative parts, work shop, conference room, and classroom for teaching. The predominant materials used are metals that mimic spacecraft, as well as gray colors that are very prevalent
