Metamorphoses of Volgograd Planetarium

Interesting project from start off and I think an awesome job has been in done dealing with the interior of an existing building. I like the fact that the 'design problem' has been well identified and defined from the beginning. Maintaining the historical interior with a combination of technological innovations is quite a solid statement from an architectural point of view since it lays a clear foundation (theme) of the project. To some extent I think the project has managed to achieve its goal of maintaining history in the interior spaces while also making use of modern technology in the functionality of these spaces. However I think more information could be communicated/presented in detail regarding some aspects of history and technology found in the design. Most of the rendered images show an overview of the interior spaces and so there is lack of some key details. It could be material information, anthropometric/ergonomics, proportions, etc, just to illustrate some key features of the project. More detail can be seen through the use of more 2D drawings or a combination of 2D and 3D drawings. In addition, I think more could be done in order to achieve a balance between 'history' and 'technology'. The presented images are rich in the latter and lack the former.
