Visually echoing a crashed saucer, the interlocking aluminium-clad cylinders of this building speak of outer-space. Its form was inspired by a revolutionary 1929 design for a space station by rocket engineer and local-boy-made-good Herman Potočnik Noordung.
The shape also expresses the building’s dual nature: integrating a community centre and library with a Museum of Space Technologies. The exhibition spaces ramp up to research areas, around a central circular multi-purpose hall holding up to 300 people and used for anything from town meetings to scientific seminars. Unusually, the project was jointly designed by four Slovenian practices, its concept arrived at in a series of workshops. (rgw)
