Space architects are preparing for humanity’s return to the moon

October 15, 2024 Ellen Eberhardt 0

This week, leading figures in space architecture will descend on Milan to formally establish the discipline for the first time. Ellen Eberhardt explores what’s at stake. Space-related architecture has seen an explosion in activity over the past few years, with the development of off-earth construction methods, zero-gravity interior design and even a dedicated masters’ programme.

Aurelia Institute creates geodesic spacecraft for “leading good lives” in orbit

August 13, 2024 Ellen Eberhardt 0

Boston non-profit Aurelia Institute has created a pavilion showcasing its self-assembling geodesic dome, designed to allow space professionals and the general public to “lead good lives” in zero gravity. A continuation of Aurelia Institute co-founder Ariel Ekblaw’s PhD thesis at MIT, TESSERAE (Tesselated Electromagnetic Space Structure for the Exploration of Reconfigurable Adopative Environments) aims to

Jordan William Hughes designs space elevator that “connects the ocean to the stars”

January 9, 2024 Starr Charles 0

Architect Jordan William Hughes has created a conceptual design for a space elevator that would travel between an ocean-based spaceport and a multi-use space station. Hughes developed the design for the space elevator – which he believes would offer a more efficient alternative to traditional space travel – based on existing research by physicists and

White tiles floating outside a window in space

Researchers at MIT Media Lab have tested modular tiles that autonomously assemble to create habitats in space on the latest mission to the International Space Station. Called Tesserae, the project aims to create future space habitats from reconfigurable tiles that assemble while in orbit around the moon or Earth. MIT suggested the tiles can be
