Moon Trip Centre
From the eternal rotation of planets around the sun, to the gravitational orbit of space crafts and space stations, a circle's infinite nature represents life and exploration. This project draws its form from the idea that the study of circles has inspired the advancement of geometry, astronomy, and calculus, evoking the will to learn and explore.

It is simple form of architecture in my personal opinion. We wished to see more symbolic form from the Moon exploration. However, we could see very serious consideration on various experiences and programmes for different age groups, for exemple, air training simulation, Mars rover pavilion and Moon walk zone. Those interactive and physical experiences reinforce our imagination above the visual experience. I think, it would be worth to upgrade the Moon walk zone to Moon-Mars walk zone where the users feel different gravities. ( It shouldn’t call zero gravity chair because there is a 1/6 gravity on the Moon ) ;) Very nice work!
The juxtaposition of the circles (and ellipses) is a great concept. The strength of such a formal presentation suggests thoughtful use circle as a representation of something that is not described. I would have enjoyed more insight into the choice of circle(s) and the deeper relationships.
