Hello Valeria,
The concept for Museum "SATURN" is captivating, combining the grandeur of astronomy with monumental architecture in a strikingly unique way. The idea of using Saturn as the central symbol for the museum’s design is powerful and visually stunning, and placing this structure atop a mountain to evoke reflection about the vastness of space is brilliant. It creates a visceral emotional connection for the visitor.
As an experienced architect, I would suggest considering how the monumentality of the building can interact with its natural surroundings. For instance, the approach paths leading to the museum could be designed to gradually reveal views of the building, heightening the visitor's sense of awe as they approach. Furthermore, while the use of durable materials to symbolize the strength and longevity of Saturn is effective, I would recommend ensuring that these materials also consider environmental factors—perhaps integrating sustainable elements, such as solar panels or rainwater harvesting systems, to add functionality to the aesthetic.
The educational booths are an excellent addition, but I’d suggest incorporating interactive displays or even augmented reality experiences to deepen the connection with the cosmos for visitors of all ages.
Best of luck with your education and future career—this is a project with immense potential!
