Space Technology
Design and architecture projects exploring space exploration, orbital habitats, spaceports, and the built environment of space travel.
SPACEPORT: A Bird's Nest Terminal for India's Commercial Launch Coast at Kulasekharapatnam
A thesis spaceport at Kulasekharapatnam layers launch pads, runway and public terminal into a woven, nest-like gateway between civilians and orbit.
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.
Ascension: A Sensory Architecture Tribute to Apollo 11's Legacy
A boomerang-shaped immersive building in Washington D.C. simulates an astronaut's journey from launch to ocean reentry across three subterranean levels.
Daedalus Station: A Self-Building Orbital Habitat That Engineers Its Own Gravity
A toroidal space station in Low Earth Orbit that mines asteroids, simulates Earth gravity through rotation, and scales from 32 to 448 meters.
SPECtre: A Civic Architecture That Puts Space Research on Public Display
A runner-up entry for Moontrip 2019 reimagines the museum as a living laboratory where visitors witness spacecraft science in real time.
Moontrip: Floating Bubbles and Subterranean Caves Bring Space Exploration to Children
The Air Bubble Space Center merges floating capsules, cave-like undergrounds, and 3D-printed structures into an immersive launchpad for young explorers.
Space Matter: A Geological Approach to Space Education Architecture
A shortlisted Moontrip 2019 entry imagines a space exploration center on the outskirts of Washington DC, built from extraterrestrial logic.
Space Invaders: A Von Braun Wheel Rebuilt with Inflatable, Regolith-Shielded Habitats
Jiri Vele's Orion Station spins once a minute at 1,400 km, hanging regolith-filled inflatable modules on a bicycle wheel frame for 2,000 people.
Space Cloud: An Asteroid-Fed Lattice Habitat That Grows Cell by Cell in Zero Gravity
A shortlisted Origyn entry that mines asteroids for water, air and structure, stacking two-person cells into a self-sustaining, ever-expanding lattice.
Hyperstem Station
Hyperloop technology is a huge advancement and calls for a redefining of typology to celebrate such technological progress. Similar to a hyperloop, Hyperstem offers efficiency and sustainability practices. It focuses on a variety of local issues including transportation, living, and nutrition. This multi-program station will be the hub of public transit, housing, and commercial space.
