| Summary: | The design of the Astronomy Museum building located on Jl. Ir. H. Djuanda was initiated by
LAPAN in collaboration with ITB. The main function of the building is an exhibition with supporting
functions in the form of education, office, curation, amenities, service and parking functions. Users in
building consist of tourists, museum managers, employees, students, communities and professionals.
The location in the center of the city makes the main issue in the design that is related to the provision
of urban activity space from public spaces and green open spaces on the site.
The design theme of 'House of Astronomy' was applied as a central design approach to
astronomical activities by applying astronomical elements to the design. The shape of the building uses
a metaphor from the moon's orbit consisting of four main masses with two additional masses. The
basic form of the main mass (exhibition) with the supporting mass (planetarium) is a metaphor of the
shape of the telescope. The building facade applies the concept of dark-light to produce lighting and
nuances of the universe inside and outside the building. |
