Up to the Stars on the Comet

A strong presentation. Well thought out and constructed.

1.What is the concept behind your design idea? The main idea was created from a visual image of a comet. The result is a complex building which has two contrasted volumes. The first is a complicated crystal ball which is the head of a comet. There is an assembly hall with a cosmonautics museum. The second is a stepwise volume with exploited terraces - the tail of the comet is a prototype. There are other rooms including classes, a school cafeteria and a library. There is also the amphitheater in front of the school which creates the courtyard of the school. 2. What are the programmatic decisions you have implemented in your design? This project provides certain functions for educating children. First, there are 11 classrooms in which children can study in groups or directly with the teacher. secondly, there are large and small halls in which children can study in co-working. Also, the entire 3rd floor is occupied by a library with an archive. The most interactive way of learning is visiting the large space of the hall of crystalline form. Museum exhibits are located along the ramp along which you can climb up almost to the roof. 3. How did you utilize indoor and outdoor spaces for the facility? Internal and external spaces turned out to be very harmonious and diverse. There are several atriums inside the building. There are also a lot of light openings in the roof, so that all the rooms receive a sufficient amount of light. Class cells are arranged in accordance with insolation standards. They are grouped in several pieces and between them are small recreation areas with floor-to-ceiling glazing. The internal space of the crystal ball expands to the top with a spiral ramp. External space is closely connected to the internal. Each floor has access to the terrace. Terraces are connected by ramps. From the terrace of the second floor you can get into the courtyard of the amphitheater of the school.

4. How does your design resonate as a symbol for marking the 50th anniversary of a major leap in scientific achievement? First of all the project was conceived as a new symbol of the city that will be noticeable on the other side of the river bank and from the highway. It celebrates scientific achievements in astronautics and shows the desire of mankind for new heights. 5. How did your project achieve “learning by doing”? Learning takes place in teams through games and interactive exhibitions. In addition to studying in classes, there is the ability to study on the street. On the school territory there are many planforms connected by paths. Constellations were taken as the basis for the structure of such areas. 6. How did you arrive on your design form? Shape is a geometric view of a comet in architecture. The comet's core has been transformed into a crystal ball. The comet's tail was designed as stepped terraces. Also through all the sketches comes the comet's glass ridge.

Amazing!!
