FAITH V.1.0

Living for survival may begin soon, humans will remember their mistakes in nature. But hope is still alive if we stop destruction and turn it into smart way. The designed is driving with renewable energy from planets and sun, Including various things for human survival such as energy to produce food / oxygen / to suppport any kind of machines , etc.

Space Invaders

Shape is inspired by Von Braun rotating space station and by bicycle wheel. Shape provides artificial gravity and modularity. Station is composed from central core, inner and outer ring. Station revolves once every 60 seconds, 1400 km above the Earth.

NEW HOUSTON

New Houston, the first self-dependent space settlement planned for 2040, is a synthesis selected from reasonable models that conducted by countless experiments. The significance of New Houston is to make human beings leave the earth and step into space life to become "interstellar species".

Space Odyssey (A jounrey to space)

To ignite the spark in kids and teenagers for space exploration , almost every major aspect regarding space launch is taken in consideration while designing this space exploration centre. From engineering workshops to space simualtion with anti- gravity simulation in basement so that kids can experience most of the things.

can you please explain the diagram with the numbers in it, in the first page, why are there numbers and why are they distributed in such way

The final solution has a wonderful curiosity to it - from a distance it invites thought and creates curiosity. The path to that design solution, while graphically clear, is not intellectually clear.

Survival D

James Armstrong
Juror

A well-conceived imagination of a landscape that just needed additional communication elements to tie things together (and maybe would provide some human/emotional resonance, or other information or context to engage with) for a more purposeful/inspiring message.

This project presents a beautiful and eerie rendering of a space colony. It leaves me with many questions. Have the people already abandoned the colony? Did they come for a short time and leave behind these structures or did they come and perish? The text isn't well-integrated with the image and doesn't add much to the narrative.

Would the emotional resonance — and goal to inspire exploration — have been different if a SpaceX capsule was orbiting a distant world (Mars, Saturn, etc.) instead of a very familiar blue Earth?

This image is very similar to other views of the exterior of the SpaceX spacecraft. It doesn't deliver a new perspective or point to new possibilities for space travel.

OR1GYN-10000-Moss Whoopi

Space habitats are composed of ecosystems, energy systems, safety systems, health care systems, exploration systems, recovery systems and so on. Habitat materials are made of solar panels, which not only collect space energy, but also save the earth's existing resources.

Launch pad from the moon: Journey into the unknown

In the design of travel and exploration in space by setting foot on the moon where 3 astronauts stand and set foot on the moon and this movement by surfing on the sea of unknowns and human enthusiasm and sense of curiosity to discover facts. I have compared 3 astronauts who by stepping on the moon became the beginning of exploration in space and planets .

Mining Space Station

We face many challenges in this project, think about Age of Discovery, many people travel to the boundless ocean to find a new world. Today we go into darkness, not just looking wealth, but also keep the human development going.

This concept is both exciting and confusing in spots. I can't follow the progression of your sheets but generally like everything I see - perhaps a bit more clarity in the visual narrative and evolution from concept to final design.

SPACEPORT

The commercial spaceport represent a new transportation typology. It must respond to the new technical demands of space travel, also acknowledge its import as a gateway for millions of people to the last & greatest of frontiers. The commercial spaceport not only responsible for education, training, and rehabilitation of passengers, but also for "wowing" them
