Mission: Space

My final project. *sniffle* I going to miss this class. An architectural re-imagining of a building of our choice. I chose the building for the attraction Mission: Space, located at Walt Disney World's Epcot in Florida. As with many of the ride buildings at this theme park, this one features interesting architecture that is relevant to the attraction contained within. The lines painted into the asphalt draw your eye towards the building while the large-scale model of the solar system incorporated into the architecture creates a fun and exciting wave that draws your attention up towards the night sky. Although a thrill-based, flight simulator at its core, the ride promises to entertain as well as educate guests about the possibilities of future space travel.
