Space Eye Observatory
The Space Eye Observatory was an extraordinary project from star architect Mario Botta from its very conception. In addition to housing the largest telescope in Switzerland and featuring astronaut Claude Nicollier as ambassador, this space observatory serves as a beacon of scientific discovery and innovation on the international stage.
Its unique white façade was made with carbon reinforced, prefabricated concrete elements that are only 50 mm thick, which is a CO2-optimized concept. These panels hold a special position in the portfolio of Element AG in terms of type and form.
Due to the observatory’s striking design coupled with its eco-friendly production, it has earned the nickname: “Observatory with a sustainable shell“.
