Victorian
Space Science Education Center (Strathmore)
This centre is one
of three Innovation Projects commissioned by the State Government
to support a new approach to teaching Science. The Centre
is held within two spiralling wall-arms which act as noise
buffers from the surrounding freeway and railway. At their
centre is a soaring volume of deep indigo from which all other
spaces are accessed. From its stellar apex light plays dramatically
into the depths of the building. Conceptually, the building
forms and their energetic convergence and divergence mirror
the transformative forces of spiral galaxies. The architecture
is devised through its unique spatial formation, sequencing
and ambience, to support the space education program by immersing
participants in a challenging world of space travel, experiments,
problem solving and teamwork. An educational experience both
memorable and inspirational.
