ABOUT THIS COURSE

Low Earth Orbit Destinations

Architecture is an expression of human evolution in material and aesthetic form. In this course, our goal is to develop your ability to perceive and interpret architecture as a reflection of technological advancements and artistic achievements. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of space architecture in the low Earth orbit (LEO) context through vivid analyses of past space architectures, which were created with limited data and knowledge at the time.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

Throughout the course, you will achieve the following goals:

  • Develop the skills to read, analyze, and comprehend various forms of space architecture in the low Earth orbit.
  • Gain historical insights into significant works of past space stations, understanding their design principles and operational considerations.
  • Learn typology as a framework to create your own architectural drawings and models, applying design principles specific to LEO space architecture.
  • Cultivate an academic approach and acquire a fundamental understanding of low Earth orbit space architecture, enabling you to contribute to the field with critical thinking and innovative ideas.

By the end of the course, you will have a solid foundation in space architecture, equipping you with the knowledge and skills to engage in meaningful discussions, analyze architectural designs, and explore the future possibilities of space habitats.

SYLLABUS

This 6-week space course will be offered online once a week for two consecutive hours, delving into the exploration of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) destinations. The journey begins with an introduction to LEO, tracing its historical significance and examining current and potential future destinations. Participants will explore spacecraft and vehicles designed for LEO travel, past space stations such as Skylab, the Shuttle program, and MIR. Additionally, participants will examine the architecture and activities taking place on the ISS, understanding its design principles and operational considerations. Students will engage in discussions and exercises exploring the multiple missions and unique architectural considerations of these commercial LEO destinations, and discuss the future trends and possibilities in space architecture.

What are the requirements to become a student?
The platform is available on desktops and mobile devices. ‍Please have your mic and camera ready to participate. Develop new skills and gain new experiences as you learn alongside others building humanity’s future in space.
Is there a waitlist for full courses?
Through individual and/or group research projects, with guidance from faculty advisor(s), students will have an opportunity to advance original research work and developing technologies in special studies in space philosophy. This course emphasizes investigating new territories of inquiry, including contributions to the knowledgebase of their chosen discipline, as well as development of an overall research framework to define aspects of that discipline related to space applications. Research programs should focus on theoretical and experimental positions drawn from the respective areas to enable contributions towards human space settlement. Skills development integrated throughout the course elements will emphasize writing, teamwork, the collaborative nature of the field, engineering tools used in space systems engineering, and data management and analysis.
