This book provides an overview of the historic advancements of human operated spacecraft, as well as highlighting various current and future concepts of habitability and their translation into design. The main goal of this book is to promote a dialogue between the diverse concepts of habitability and their socio-spatial and psychological dimensions. Selected dimensions are reviewed from multiple backgrounds, and possible design and architectural related applications are illustrated and discussed.
The authors explore various concepts of the term habitability from the perspectives of the inhabitants as well as the planners and social sciences and highlight common features and differences. A major focus of this book is to explore and hopefully stimulate creative solutions to the unique challenges inherent in crafting livable spaces in extraterrestrial environments, fostering a constructive dialogue between the researchers and planners of future inhabited spacecraft and extraterrestrial habitats.The book will benefit individuals and organizations responsible for human operated space missions. It also provides insights of interest to researchers of social sciences, psychology, engineering, architecture, and design.
The focus of this book is on the issue of designing living spaces for extreme environments and, particularly, extraterrestrial environments. Its findings address the basic socio-spatial relationships as they are applicable to other extreme environments and even for compact urban living on Earth. In addition, it unveils the authors’
experiences of the relationship between habitable space and the environment and thus relates back to Earth and our very normal daily life.
