Brasília Planetarium
History
The Brasília Planetarium was initially inaugurated in March 1974, being designed by Sérgio Bernandes. In 2006, it was closed for refurbishing due to several structural problems, which lasted until 2013. It was reopened following construction work on 11 December 2013.
Charactersitics
The planetarium was designed by architect Sérgio Bernandes, with a Brutalist architectural style, having bare concrete and a geometric shape resembling a flying saucer. Its center is formed by two semi-spherical domes, one inside the other, surrounded by sixteen identical volumes separated from each other by radial strips one meter thick, forming a hexadecagon with concave sides. These volumes form sixteen faces, which represent the sixteen cardinal points of the compass rose.
