SPEC
The building represents space travel as a multi-layered vessel. Each level signifies a profession that aids in the execution of space travel. SPEC's aim is to show how numerous disciplines come together to make space travel possible. SPEC has a two-fold meaning 1:acronym for Space Exploration Centre and 2: how the building is viewed from space - as a spec.

This project understood very well about the necessity of the interactive experiences for the space trip. The users could have different experiences and knowledge along the phases of the space trip. Most of all, at the robotic pavilion, which will be essentials or space fields, kids may play with full of curiosity without barrier. But also, at the pavilion where people make their own spacecraft will stimulate their imagination with knowledge that they earned from the building. However, if the train circulation could integrate with the architecture form, it may upgrade the quality of the project. Good job
This project is exceptionally interesting with their programs and circulations. However, on the architectural aspect, the circulation of the user should be melted down with the function and the aesthetic of the architecture (at least on the Earth). Especially this kind of public facility will need the aesthetic characteristic to attract public. Or, this type of architecture which has strong language of the circulation may be interpreted by a deconstructivist architecture like Pompidou museum in Paris.
I can enjoy almost every aspect of this concept thanks to the effective use of the presentation format. It is all-inclusive of your overall design. While I may quibble with some elements of the design (a personal choice), I would never want to discourage you from producing such a thorough overall presentation.
Awesome Design!
Realistic Design.
I like the form of this building. The design branched away from the typical circular / sphere shape associated with the moon. Also interesting is the idea of being thrust through a dark tunnel at a high speed and being lifted into the skies to land on top of the building. This gives the visitor a real sensation of space travel. Landing on the top floor surface that replicates the moon is an extension of this feeling. Agreed with below comment, it is nice to provide children with the opportunity to design their own spacecrafts and let their imagination run wild. Lastly, I am glad to see tributes to robotics, mechanics, engineering etc. departments also included in the design. These are the core of space travel (not just being an astronaut) and children get to experience opportunities these fields offer. Well done.
Inspired and innovative
