It is the dream of all photographers who love space

and natural phenomena to be able to appreciate the

wonders of the universe and appreciate the mysteries of the starry sky.

In order to realize this dream,

some people will build a professional viewing "astronomical observatory".

But how to build a less populated environment to be convenient and stable?

【Purunã Observatory】Take you to appreciate the charm of "iron wooden box".

Looking back, you can easily be fooled into thinking it's a makeshift log cabin.

 But from "some ports" you'll see that it's actually a solid modular building.

Designed by architect Bruno Zaitter,

the Purunã Observatory took only 38 days to complete

and features a spacious wooden deck

and roof terrace to enhance the experience of viewing

 the stars and other objects in the sky.

Located in the metropolitan area of Curitiba,

the observatory consists of two containers arranged in an "L" shape,

 including a 12-meter container and a 6-meter container,

in order to create a fast, clean and economical Structural Solutions.

 The east, west and south façades of the building

are completely lined with high-branch pine planks,

but the north façade reveals the "true face" of the container,

and its terraces are also cast in concrete.

The two containers of the observatory create a total of 45 square meters of activity space,

and they have different functions.

 Inside the 6-meter-long container is

 an equipment room dedicated to storing various telescopes,

and another 12-meter-long container houses a classroom

and a dormitory for two people, all equipped with sanitary facilities.
