There are two diferent rings with diferent structures.
The exterior ring has a log structure, that lets light enter trough
the corredors and makes the walls “transparent”, beeing possi-
ble to see the view trough the openings.
The stairs are part of this ring structure and are locked between
each log.
The interior ring is totally closed with wooden boards, keeping
light from enter, defining, in this way, the central room. A dark
and introspective place, completly enclosured by tall walls,
keeping your attention only to the sky.
The corredors of the diferent levels, aswell as the bench, always
function around this interior ring and are part of its structure.
STRUCTURE
enables us to rise to the many levels, each one of them pro-
viding us a different way of seeing the night sky and taking us
closer to it.
The ground floor is protected from rain and sun, where groups
of friends or family can be together.
The entrance of the building its done through stairs that lead
you to the first level where you find a small, dark room, that’s
only open to the sky. In the midle of this room there is a wooden
bed where you can lay down looking at the stars.
If you continue up the next stairs you arrive to a corridor with
three windows. Each window is directed to a different view and
have diferent information about the stars, galaxies, etc.
Finally when you get to the last floor, you’ll be in the terrace,
where you can see the sky in all directions.
All the corridors in each floor are accompanied by a bench.
