The Purunã Observatory, located in the Metropolitan Region of the City of Curitiba, is a place intended for viewing the universe in a didactic way. This was the dream of a space-loving photographer and his natural phenomena come true in that building.
designed as a long city bypass, the ‘sea line park’ will adapt to the rising waters, reforming into an island that can cruise away searching a new docking destination or simply float on the sea.
