Overview

How will we live elsewhere in the galaxy? On Earth, natural resources for creating structures are abundant, but sending these materials up with us to the Moon or Mars is clunky and cost-prohibitive. Enter architect Xavier De Kestelier, who has a radical plan to use robots and space dust to 3D print our interplanetary homes. Learn more about the emerging field of space architecture with this fascinating talk about the (potentially) not-too-distant future.

Xavier De Kestelier will be sharing his current projects and collaborations with NASA and the European Space Agency envisioning new forms of human habitation in space.

How might humans survive – or even thrive – living beyond Earth. How are architects and designers researching and developing future habitats in space?  Are space habitats also able to solve challenges on Earth such as sustainable housing solutions, tackling population growth and managing limited natural resources?
