For most, space architecture is something out of the realm of science fiction, where anything is possible just because it happens in the distant future. So is space architecture fiction or reality? This publication explores how architectural principles and strategies must be adapted to make construction in extreme space conditions possible. Olga Bannova's book presents concepts developed by scientists and science fiction writers. They are designed to inspire our contemporaries to new architectural projects aimed at the future.
The study also analyzes the dual philosophy of space architecture, suggesting that, on the one hand, design in a space environment should be focused on human comfort, and on the other, it is designed to build new ways of human coexistence in new conditions. The theory is complemented by architectural designs developed for current and planned space missions.
