Air and Space Museum of Minnesota: A Recreation of History Through Architecture
Abstract
At 10:35 am, December 17, 1903 for a mere
12 seconds, changed our future forever. The
discovery of flight was one of the greatest
accomplishments during the 20th century and
should be celebrated in such a way. The Air
and Space Museum of Minnesota is a way to
introduce people to the great importance of
flight history through architecture. Located
at Flying Cloud Airport in Eden Prairie,
Minnesota atop a large plateau, the site
offers breath taking views as well as a logical
location for an air and space museum. With
the combination of space planning and
architecture, a variety of spaces will create
an environment that will be intellectually
stimulating and well as fun for all ages.
Overall, the design is to celebrate human
achievements in flight. It shapes our culture
and with this, combining Architecture and
history it will give our eyes a fresh look at the
deeper meaning of flight.
