Brno Observatory and Planetarium
This Czech building represents principles and objectives of Science Exploratorium: exploring, explaining and protecting of the natural world as for the field of astronomy. The original building was built gradually from 1949 to 1991. The visitor is not supposed to be coming here for the building´s mere presence, but to watch a cosmic phenomena normally unobservable. The logical design consequence was to interconnect the building with park so that an impression of transparency could be set up.
