Abstract
At 10:35 am, December 17, 1903 for a mere 12 seconds, changed our future forever. The discovery of flight was one of the greatest accomplishments during the 20th century and should be celebrated in such a way. The Air and Space Museum of Minnesota is a way to introduce people to the great importance of flight history through architecture. Located at Flying Cloud Airport in Eden Prairie, Minnesota atop a large plateau, the site offers breath taking views as well as a logical location for an air and space museum. With the combination of space planning and architecture, a variety of spaces will create an environment that will be intellectually stimulating and well as fun for all ages. Overall, the design is to celebrate human achievements in flight. It shapes our culture and with this, combining Architecture and history it will give our eyes a fresh look at the deeper meaning of flight.
