Beschreibung

An exciting and authoritative discussion of the latest advances in the technology required for space travel and space exploration In Space Architecture: Principles, Challenges, and Innovations, experienced architect and designer Daniel Inocente delivers a comprehensive exploration of the design and development of habitats and infrastructure required to support human life in space. The book offers readers a thorough description of the principles, challenges, and solutions currently animating discussions in this emerging field. Beginning with an introduction that establishes the central importance of space architecture, Inocente explains the interdisciplinary nature of the field and demonstrates how integrated knowledge from engineering, architecture, environmental science, and psychology are coming together to build a spacefaring future for humanity. Readers will also find: * A thorough introduction to space habitat design, including discussions of pre-integrated, prefabricated, and in-situ derived habitats * Comprehensive explorations of the environmental challenges posed by space and space travel, including microgravity, extreme temperatures, vacuum, and ionizing radiation * Practical discussions of space destinations, like low-earth orbit, deep space, moons, and planets * Complete treatments of mobility architecture, including surface mobility systems and lunar terrain vehicles Perfect for both architecture and aerospace professionals, Space Architecture: Principles, Challenges, and Innovations will also benefit researchers with an interest in space architecture, students of architecture, aerospace engineering, or space studies, and laypeople enthusiastic about space travel and space exploration.

Autor

Daniel Inocente is a licensed architect and founder of Daniel Inocente Architecture (DIA), based in New York. He also serves as Professor of Practice in Architecture and Space Architecture at Arizona State University, where he leads design studios and technical seminars. Daniel brings a multidisciplinary approach to architecture, combining design innovation with technical expertise across a wide range of building types and scales. Daniel's work reflects a modern, forward-thinking approach shaped by global experience across multiple sectors, including high-rise, cultural, residential, and transportation projects. Prior to founding DIA, he held senior roles on major international commissions, contributing to large-scale developments in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. His professional career includes building partnerships with ESA, MIT, and universities, as well as working for NASA and as a Senior Space Architect at Blue Origin, where he brought architectural thinking to the design of next-generation habitats, mobility systems, and off-world infrastructure. Across all endeavors, Daniel approaches architecture as a synthesis of engineering, design, and human experience, seeking to create environments that are at once visionary and deeply responsive to context.
