Space Habitat
Architectural design and planning for human habitation in space environments, from orbital stations to planetary surfaces.
OASIS: A Spherical Underwater Habitat Engineered for Life on the Pacific Shelf
A 16.6-meter geodesic sphere proposes self-sufficient living 200 meters below the Pacific, turning structure into landscape.
Lunar Stalactite: A Habitat That Grows Downward From the Moon's Ceiling
Suspended inside a lava tube beneath the lunar surface, this colony inverts settlement logic by hanging architecture from cavern rock.
Algal Realm: A Lunar Habitat Where Biology Replaces Machinery
Bioengineered algae drive oxygen production, construction, food supply, and energy generation in this speculative Moon settlement.
LUNA BASE: A Lunar Settlement Organised Like a Solar System Around a Planted Core
Corinna Kollert's shortlisted Moon Base 2124 entry rings geodesic domes around a garden dome, turning vegetation into the base's infrastructure.
Lunar Spiral: A Fibonacci-Driven Moon Settlement Rising from Shackleton Crater
Golden-spiral geometry organises buried infrastructure and orbiting habitable spheres into a lunar base designed to grow as life on the Moon expands.
The Earth Pod: 3D Printed Clay Dwellings That Treat Refugee Shelter as Long-Term Habitat
Florian Mouafo Zambou's Strata 2020 entry prints clay pods inspired by earthen cooling vessels, shaded by solar canopies built for years, not weeks.
STELLAR-1: A Dandelion-Inspired Orbital Refuge Built for Humanity's Eventual Return to Earth
A space elevator and porous lattice shells turn an orbital colony into infrastructure that safeguards people, seeds and knowledge until Earth heals.
THE HIVE: An Asteroid Mining Habitat Built on the Bee, Nature's Victim and Prototype
A speculative orbital ecosystem for the journey to Ceres, where honeycomb modules, robotic Bees and mined resources let a habitat grow beyond Earth.
Deployable Inflatable Mars Habitat: Packing a Free-Plan Home into a Launch-Ready Cylinder
A shortlisted Habitats '20 entry that swaps rigid construction for inflation, unfolding a compact cylinder into flexible rooms on Mars plains and caves.
ORIGYN GAIA: A Self-Expanding Orbital Station Built from Asteroid Material
Adam Hoehne, Jack Hooper, and Ricardo Miguel propose a modular space habitat that grows itself using in-situ resource utilization.
Habitat Module by MEII ESTUDIO: A Futuristic Home Inspired by Space Architecture in Cartagena
Space-inspired modular home in Cartagena, combining a prefabricated core, translucent materials, and warm organic interiors for flexible, futuristic coastal living.
Space Odyssey: Simulating a Mission to Space on Washington's Anacostia Riverfront
A three-phase architectural sequence of preparation, journey, and discovery transforms NASA's backyard into an immersive space experience.
