FOCI is a stepping stone and mediator to the future of the human's adaptation to space. Like a camera, with its lens, aperture, cinema and theatre, the conception of this outer atmospheric architecture proposal presents a leisure space, focused on the marvels of the cosmos. In this context, man becomes aware of his place juxtaposed to the earth, placing him in a realm fundamentally different from the earthbound condition. Therefore, the structure for inhabitation requires an altered, idealized state, acting as a mediator for human beings who are transitioning from a familiar environment to a foreign, zero-gravity condition. This in turn requires a return to innate human nature, as Man must basically begin “de novo” in the most primitive sense.
