                    Topic Title: The Vizag Astrodome: Vizag Planetarium and Museum

                    Supervisor: Prof. Mohafiz Riyaz

                    Synopsis

                     The proposed design for the Visakhapatnam Planetarium, Space and Aerospace Museum (VSPSAM)
                     aims to create a unique architectural landmark that embodies the awe-inspiring vastness of space
                     exploration while celebrating the rich cultural heritage of Visakhapatnam, India.
                     The thesis explores the concept of a holistic visitor experience, encompassing  both the physical
                     structure and the immersive exhibits within. The architectural design will draw inspiration from
                     celestial forms and orbital mechanics, translating these concepts into a dynamic and visually striking
                     building. The museum component will integrate seamlessly with the planetarium, showcasing India's
                     contributions to space exploration and aerospace science through interactive and engaging displays.
                     This thesis will address the following key aspects:
                     Symbiotic Design: Unifying the planetarium and museum functions into a cohesive architectural
                     expression.
                     Celestial Inspiration: Drawing design elements from astronomical forms and planetary motion.
                     Technical Workshops and classrooms: The museum component will integrate seamlessly with the
                     planetarium, showcasing India's contributions to space exploration and aerospace science through
                     interactive  and  engaging  displays,  including  dedicated  workshop  areas  for  hands  on  learning
                     experiences.
