Archive project: this is Aaron Fritsch’s student proposal at the University of Kentucky, not a completed NASA facility.
This project is an investigation of aggregated and controlled systems. This design process starts with a two dimensional drawing that is developed into a three dimensional field based on a specific rule set.
As the aggregation allows the system to grow, the system begins to develop space and form on its own, creating new emerging conditions.
This newly developed space will serve as a twenty story observation tower and hotel complex that will be a host for N.A.S.A. related program activities as well as a destination point for visitors wanting to view launches from Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Base.
The project is located within the Marshes of the Merrit Island National Wildlife Refuge.
