Centennial Planetarium, Planetarium in Calgary, Canada.
The Centennial Planetarium features two distinct wings surrounding a central bay, with a 65-foot domed screen in the celestial theatre section.
The structure opened in 1967 as part of Canada's centennial celebration, following a design competition won by architectural firm McMillan Long and Associates.
The building represents Canadian brutalist architecture through its raw concrete construction and non-orthogonal design, earning multiple architectural awards.
Contemporary Calgary now operates the facility as an art gallery, offering exhibitions throughout the year in the renovated space with new public amenities.
The structure housed the collection of the Hangar Flight Museum between 1971 and 1985, displaying aircraft before transitioning to the Calgary Science Centre.
