Charactersitics

The planetarium was designed by architect Sérgio Bernandes, with a Brutalist architectural style, having bare concrete and a geometric shape resembling a flying saucer.Its center is formed by two semi-spherical domes, one inside the other, surrounded by sixteen identical volumes separated from each other by radial strips one meter thick, forming a hexadecagon with concave sides. These volumes form sixteen faces, which represent the sixteen cardinal points of the compass rose.[6]
