The goal of this project is to demonstrate the possibility of using
existing solutions and concepts developed and used for earth
applications as a design architecture for outer-space habitats. The
future habitats/cities will need to evolve constantly, fixing a form, a
system or a program is not the solution to adapt to an environment that
we will learn a lot from when we get there. The design for a habitat and
its systems will require constant modifications to adapt to changes in
the environment, our knowledge of it and/or our reaction to it. Interior
and exterior organizations will certainly change rapidly depending on
new requirements. To produce an optimal design at a fast pace and
correctly we need to use computational techniques such as parametric
design or topology optimization. The new design solution should be the
best according to a chosen set of conditions. For example: well-being,
comfort, ease of operation and construction. With the help of software
such as Rhino/Grasshopper and SIMOC we can demonstrate the practicality
and the necessity of this approach for future human settlements in any
extreme environment.
