Horizon

Humans have a fundamental need to connect with other individuals. This is due to our need to explore the world around us, fulfilling our constant curiosity.  With the rapid growth of technology, we have globalised as a society. Globalisation has given us the ability to connect with anyone around the world, with various technologies and transportation.  We as a planet have conquered and connected with every continent and country- so what’s next? Technology has now created a Google answers era; with a click of a button we can learn about anything at any time - Space being the anomaly.  We now want to connect with other planets and extra-terrestrial life, this idea of being able to connect with more than just our world. It is no secret that humans have always been fascinated with space, and this notion that there is a life form other than ourselves out there. Organisations such as NASA are constantly sending out different missions to space in the hopes of discovering something new or another life form. Research conducted by NASA even states that looking up at space grounds people and increases their curiosity level.  

In the context of Sydney there is a need for a location which helps facilitate the exploration of space, giving people a place to understand their significance in the world. This island will act as an education centre and research facility for the exploration of outer space. Allowing people to connect with themselves, other people with similar interests, and researches to connect with our universe.
