ON EARTH
COSMOS CENTER ON EARTH is an evolutionary investment project that aims to create an edutainment visitor center, an innovation hub, and a hotel and residential complex dedicated to space, sustainability, human development and the future.
The project will be supported by an extensive multi-purpose online edutainment platform using the latest AI, EI (emotional intelligence) and audio-visual technology.

COSMOS CENTER is also a home for the ideas and inventions of artists, scientists, and innovators who are committed to healing our Planet and exploring the potential of space, optimizing Humanity's future.
COSMOS CENTER 's 'Big Idea' is built around a balanced synthesis of the real and virtual, the terrestrial and cosmic worlds, through a combination of Edutainment, cutting-edge innovation research and development, self-development, and the arts.
The core concept of COSMOS CENTER revolves around the idea of the micro- and macrocosm, where the macro- is represented by interactive installations, exhibitions, and entertainment envisioning future cosmic worlds, while the microcosm centers on the idea of physical and spiritual evolution leading to personal inner development.

THE CONCEPT
WE ARE
An Edutainment Centre focused on space, sustainability, self-development, and the future
An Innovation Hub for space and future tech, R&D, innovation and investment
A 'space' hotel, health and residential complex
An online platform creating a VR/immersive digital world for self-development, edutainment and enlightenment online
COSMOS CENTER ON EARTH will be located on 30 hectares of land*, with over 100,000 m2 of newly constructed buildings, including the Edutainment Center, Innovation Hub, Space Hotel, Residences, and a Bus Station, Railway Station, and Heliport Terminal.
THE BUILDING
The offline facility based on sustainable architecture principles is designed by new york architects Hani Rashid and Lise Anne Couture (Asymptote).
Asymptote Architecture, a cutting-edge architecture practicefounded by architects Hani Rashid and Lise AnneCouture in New York City. The partnership is recognized globally for highly innovative andvisionary buildings, masterplans, and interiorarchitecture, as well as speculative research and designprojects related to the future of architecture and cities. Asymptote has developed major masterplans, includingChangsha Eco-Tech Resort City China, as well as a masterplan for the center of Monterrey, Mexico, a newCBD for the Prague Czech Republic, and a new cultural masterplan for the coastal capital of Azerbaijan, Baku.
«Our primary and insatiable desire to comprehend the infinite realms of space, and the cosmos has always intrigued, perplexed, and above all, inspired humankind to speculate and dream. Architecture, as one of many manifestations of humankind's delirium and aspirations, has since the very beginning been a conduit to the comprehension of the mysteries of realms well beyond our imagination. The essential need to comprehend disconcerting voids, mysterious objects, and uncanny phenomena have fueled our fantasies and science. The architecture of the Kosmos Center is derived from the mathematics, tectonics, and formations of Carbon at the molecular level. On Earth, all known living things have a carbon-based structure and system. Graphene, for example, has a massive covalent structure in which each carbon atom is joined to three other carbon atoms by what are called covalent bonds. The carbon atoms themselves that form multiple layers with a hexagonal arrangement of atoms, a unique and elegant architecture. This inspired our forms and tectonics when designing the project where we were in search of an architecture that described not only the encapsulating of information and data but more importantly, mysteries and above all else, possibilities both earthly and for humankind's inevitable interstellar existence.»
