We ask our community members to actively participate in selecting a design for the central pavilion, which will serve the following functions:
- conference hall, - reception, - mini-museum, - event space, - merch store, - VR room. Please note: The final image may differ from the sketches provided. It is also possible to borrow individual elements from one design to another to optimize the solution.
Description of Design Options
1️⃣ Design 1: A group of geodesic domes with connecting corridors
Concept: Geodesic domes are located separately from each other and connected by corridors.
Advantages:
- A common and proven solution that can be ordered from external manufacturers. - Quick production.
Disadvantages:
- High cost, especially when equipped with utility infrastructure. - Takes up a significant amount of usable space on the site. - Separate corridors increase heat loss. Cost: Less expensive than options 2 and 3.
Option 2: Modernized Geodomes
Concept: Geodomes are connected more organically, without traditional corridors.
Advantages:
- Visually harmonious solution. - Less heat loss and more compact placement while maintaining functionality.
Disadvantages:
- Requires a custom solution for connecting the domes. - Increased cost of construction due to non-standard connections.
Cost: Comparable to Option 3 (includes manufacturer's profit), but material consumption is similar to Option 3.
Option 3: Fully custom solution
Concept: Unique design, modularity, and versatility allow the solution to be adapted to any task.
Advantages:
- Potential for future projects (e.g., a Mars base). - Long-term payback with repeated use.
Disadvantages:
- Lengthy design process and potential for initial errors. - Increased cost with a single use.
Cost: Comparable to Option 2, but requires more time to implement.
