Ancient past and Architecture enjoyer. Possibly Magical

Not interested in war. Want to build things, uncover the mysteries of the ancient past, and go to the stars.

Renderings of The Orrery:

You are free to roam and meander among the cascaded instruments - there is no set path.
You may have come to witness a certain date, framed by one of the instruments.

In this moment, the universe becomes less of a distant, and irrelevant motion of forces around us and becomes personally perceivable to the human scale. Architecture precisely frames our universe, reminding us that we are not separate from nor insignificant to the greater context of the cosmos, but an active participant within an extraordinary existence around us.

Renderings of The Orrery:

At the foot of the mound, emerges a slice through the earth. Walking through this opening takes you slowly and gradually upwards through the subterranean structures, and to the emergence through the Gnomon. As you step outwards into the daylight, you find yourself at the top of the mound, and the base of the instruments.

This precession is a cleansing moment - you are removed from the outside world, and reemerge into the world of The Orrery.
