To unify two tangent infinite universes and separated by the invisibility of the day, across the convergence of both in an architectural world. The project is defined as the complete approximation to the stellar world, without the determining ones of the moment or the place. The visitor will meet at all time in direct contact the lacteal route that could be observed in this instant from the terrestrial globe, already be in his hemisphere (the night) or in the opposite hemisphere (during the day). With it the user of the universe is tried to become a participant in the one that is immersed, contributing a panoramic vision of the same one and placing him in his interior.
For this end there is looked the recreation of the hemisphere objected across a dome reversed and perforated with the stellar map of the same one, which during the day will generate a few focal lights that flood and invade the principal space of the project, recreating what in the night of the land in these moment can be observed, and to bring these stars over up to the direct contact to the user. In the night the dip in the universe will be generated across the reflection of the stellar map in a water sheet of cover, being seen the user placed between two worlds of stars that him make a detour and that it can manage to touch with his own hands in the low sheet.
