Oct 28, 2016 · Built by aerospace engineers and strung together by political grit, the ISS is a very different kind of construction to the iconic buildings that shape our contemporary city skylines. Indeed, the ISS is ‘space architecture’ according to a semiotic technicality – simply because it is built in ‘space’.
Aug 27, 2020 · This paper focuses mainly on the habitable systems of space architecture—the pressure vessels or modules that provide the primary structures and contain the atmosphere to enable humans to...
The architecture of a space station is contingent on a variety of factors. From cost to weight, resilience to redundancy, every aspect of the design of a space station is a fascinating example of how the necessity of function can shape a structure’s form in totality.
May 11, 2022 · MIT’s futuristic space architecture project TESSERAE has flown on the first fully private mission to International Space Station. Ariel Ekblaw discusses how TESSERAE fared, and what the future of space habitats might hold.
Mar 1, 2024 · Robust automated 3D printing technology will be crucial for the construction of human settlements beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. 3D printing complex and heavy structures using local resources not only minimizes costs, but also contributes to the development of a sustainable human presence in space.
Jul 5, 2016 · Yet, one can argue that space architecture of a form exists today, in the form of the International Space Station, whose design and development took decades and many iterations.
