Space Centre

Cultural centre concept

An industrial warehouse in a semi-abandoned area is being transformed into a space-themed cultural centre, featuring exhibition zones, workshops, an auditorium and a café for visitors of all ages.

The design concept starts from a hermetic volume that conceals the mysteries of space within, with a crack-like entrance on the façade reminiscent of a fissure on a distant planet.

The spacious hall acts as the heart of the centre, distributing access to the various functional areas while hosting major exhibitions. By making use of the warehouse’s existing framework, the design blends industrial elements with imaginative displays that inspire curiosity about space.
