This graphic calendar charts the measurement of time by thePlanetarium’s three “celestial bodies” over the course of variousincrements of time: a day, a season, a year. It combinesa modern calendar and traditional Chinese delineations oftime, including the lunar calendar and the 24 festivals of JieQi, demarking the equal division of the calendar year basedon the Earth’s position relative to the sun. The building acts asan astronomical instrument, tracking the movements of theEarth, the moon and the path of the sun in the sky. Specialfestivals - Chinese New Year, the autumn moon festival, thesummer solstice - are marked in or on the building in a varietyof ways: registrtion marks, alignments of figures cast bythe sun, completion of geometric shapes defined by sunlight,framing of the full moon.The result is a continually changing experienceof the building through the three celestialbodies, which synchronize with eventsthroughout the year. This creates a Plantariumthat is integrally linked with its location, thesurrounding community and the traditions ofa culture in which it originates.Daily CalenderJanuary February March April May June03:0004:0006:0007:0008:0009:00The OculusThe SphereThe days of the year we take for granted, area measurement of the Earth’s rotation aboutits axis as it turns to face towards or awayfrom the sun.10:0011:0012:0013:0014:0015:00As the sun moves fromEast to West over thecourse of the day, itshines light through theoculus, telling visitors thetime of day.Every day the lightthrough the skylightaround the planetariummoves over the floor toform a full eclipse at noon.16:0017:0018:0019:0020:00The Lunar Calendar marked on Earth bythe phases of the moon, is a measure ofeach orbit of the moon around the Earth.21:0022:0023:0000:0001:0002:00Lantern FestivalLunar CalenderThe measurment of the seasons charts ourorbit around the sun, making a full cycleevery year.Yearly/ Solar CalenderFig. 5.6.SlightColdGreatColdVernalBeginsRainWaterInsectsAwakenVernalEquinoxClear &BrightGreatRainSummerBegins
