MIT's self-assembling lunar habitat piques the public's interest in space architecture designs. While space habitats may appear reminiscent of science fiction, space architecture is a dynamic and evolving discipline. It focuses not on creating whimsical structures but on applying engineering principles with an architectural lens. MIT's Momo, a self-assembling lunar habitat, has recently gained significant popularity online, once again highlighting the intrigue of this fascinating field. #gigadgets #aerospace #designinspiration #spacestation #spaceexploration

🌍 Imagine a future, perhaps a distant one, where humankind has become a multiplanetary species. What would life be like beyond Earth? What parts of our culture, values, and traditions have we brought with us? Is the environment familiar to us, perhaps mimicking the light, textures, and smells found on our home planet? What would be the architecture be like? The theory and practice of the novel field of space architecture was first outlined in 2002, when the Millenium Charter was drafted at the World Space Congress. But how does one design with the unknowable in mind? To find an answer, futurist and architect Lovisa Volmarsson👋 met up with Marius Venø B., Senior Developer & Partner at SAGA Space Architects.

FARSIGHT is our quarterly futures publication where we explore different ideas, perspectives and scenarios for the future(s). #spacearchitect #foresight #futuresthinking #designthinking August Leo Liljenberg - Casper Skovgaard Petersen

Future thinking coupled with design can unlock your innovation potential.

I will talk about how buildings are designed for space, the role natural materials play in this process, and why we do it. https://lnkd.in/ew8GAp7f

Did you know that space exploration is pushing the boundaries of architecture? 🚀 This industry is driving innovations in modular design, sustainability, and resource management that have the potential to transform how we build on Earth. Check out this fascinating article from ArchDaily to see how concepts developed for space habitats are being reimagined for urban centers, disaster relief, and more. #StudioPi2 #SpaceExploration #BuiltEnvironments #ArchDaily

Recently we attended several large events, with SPACE as our main theme. It was fantastic to meet new people and talk about space, because space is a perfect metaphor for talking about architecture and QualiWare: 👉 We gain a new perspective on our business and ourselves when we view Earth from space 🌎 👉 Creating wonders like the International Space Station (ISS) requires collaboration 🧑🏻🤝🧑🏽 👉 Undertaking complex missions like a moon landing requires excellent planning 🚀 Can you think of more similarities? #wecanachievethewildestthingstogether #EA #enterprisearchitecture

Space architecture for spaceship Earth?! Yes, please. Add this to your SXSW schedule for March 9 at 10am at Hilton Salon K to hear from ICON's Melodie Yashar, Celestial Citizen's Britt Duffy Atkins, SOM's Georgi Petrov, and BLUE ORIGIN's Daniel Inocente as they discuss how the knowledge, technologies, and practices developed for space exploration can be utilized and applied to address challenges on our home planet, Earth. Historically, space exploration has been seen as a distant and separate endeavor from the issues we face on Earth. Now, with the rise of commercial space ventures and increased interest in space-related activities, it is becoming increasingly apparent that innovations and solutions developed for space missions can have valuable applications on Earth. https://lnkd.in/gr7rY3Pv

This detailed overview of sustainable Martian architecture for 2040 highlights an innovative and holistic approach to creating habitable environments on Mars. It addresses critical challenges such as radiation, air pressure, and resource scarcity with cutting-edge solutions that could revolutionize space colonization. By leveraging Martian resources, advanced engineering, and sustainable practices, these habitats could offer a blueprint for future extraterrestrial settlements, ensuring human survival and well-being in the harsh Martian environment. This vision combines practicality with sustainability, emphasizing the importance of community and mental health alongside physical safety and resource efficiency, paving the way for a new era of space exploration and habitation. #sustainablearchitecture #NachhaltigeArchitektur #inteligenciaartificial

1695 SPACE and SPATIALITY -Gautam Shah https://lnkd.in/d_CdKNSb For design, we concern ourselves with space and its spatiality. A space is measurable manifestation of the sensorial reach, whereas spatiality is experienced through the directionality (orientation) and movement. Both of these qualities may not be considered to part of space as a phenomenon. The realization of spatiality emerges through location and movement, both of which relate to change or shift. Spatiality is an awareness of the potential for involvement, interaction and engagement.

I contributed an article titled "Space × SDGs — Solving Challenges through Information from Space" to the "Architectural Information Society White Paper 2023-2024." In this article, I briefly review the history of space development, from its early days to the recent New Space revolution, and explain how the information gathered from space is being utilized to solve various challenges on Earth. Particularly in activities on the Moon, the expertise of architects is indispensable for the development of residential facilities and industrial infrastructure. Through this article, I hope to inspire architects to take an interest in the field of space. #space #moon #architect #sds #sustainability https://lnkd.in/gWSzxEEY
