The Experience
The installation will provide an immersive experience.
Visitors can imagine themselves as interstellar travelers, exploring this station after discovering it through a mysterious portal.
The dioramas in the Apartment Building will be commissioned from various artists.
They'll be like wildly creative sci-fi dollhouses, in a variety of different styles.
Each one will be labeled with a description of the home and the creatures that live in it.
More information about the starbase (including stories by various writers) can be in books on the tables, and for sale in the gift shop.
While guests rest and talk, they can also explore an imaginative world of multicultural, multi-planetary life.
Exterior
On the outside of the building will be signs that read:
Starlingship
Book and Gift Shoppe and Interstellar Space Station
The entryway will be decorated with an ornate door frame, with a sign hanging nearby.
This could be the outer door of a building, the door of a rented room within a building-- or even the entryway to a canopy, set up at an outdoor festival.
On the doorframe, a sign reads:
What is this doorway?
A magic portal? A space warp?
Wardrobe, wormhole,
or something else?
We don't know. We just found it.
All we know is that it leads
into a space station
in the far reaches of the galaxy.
Welcome, travelers.
