Orionis 天文馆和观测台是法国北部杜埃市的一处新文化景点，其设计灵感源于星体的椭圆形运动轨迹。

The planetarium and observatory named Orionis is a new cultural destination in the city of Douai in northern France, inspired by the elliptical and continuous movement of the stars.

项目坐落在一个绝佳的地点，介于附近的斯卡尔普河、Arkéos 考古博物馆和住宅区之间，并致力于将这些元素和谐地连接起来，为游客创造一个无障碍且充满灵感的空间。Snøhetta 提出的方案是，设计一座统一的建筑，并通过其曲线造型将放映室和观测台的两个穹顶包围并统一起来。

Situated on a remarkable site, between the adjacent Scarpe river, the archaeological museum Arkéos and a nearby residential complex, the project aims to harmoniously connect these elements and create an accessible and inspiring space for visitors. Snøhetta’s design is a unified building with curves that wrap around the two domes of the projection room and the observatory.

“天文馆是首批由 Snøhetta 巴黎办公室完全负责构思、管理和建造的项目之一，我们非常高兴能够在法国展现事物所一贯秉持的高品质文化与教育建筑的设计方法。”——Snøhetta 巴黎办公室负责人 Oliver Page

“The Planetarium is one of the first projects to be completely conceived, managed and built by Snøhetta’s studio in Paris. We are extremely excited to showcase the Snøhetta approach for delivering high-quality cultural and educational buildings in France. ”– Oliver Page, Managing Director of Snøhetta’ studio in Paris
