SPACE ARCHITECTURE
Space architecture is a specialized field that combines engineering, design, and environmental science to create habitats and structures for human activities in outer space. As humanity's exploration and presence beyond Earth increase, the importance of developing practical and sustainable living and working environments in space becomes crucial. Let's explore the fascinating realm of space architecture.
Mentor
Ar. Dhruvi Jasani
Dhruvi Jasani, a space architect, with her expert focus on human factors in habitability design, makes her a valuable asset in the field of space architecture as a design tool for exploring products, materials and architectural objects. The Human Health and Performance Directorate (HH&P) lead capability includes professionals with direct knowledge of human-centred design, architecture, and internal systems. Her enthusiasm for imparting knowledge and passion for the subject will inspire and mock-up fabrication techniques to empower students in this fascinating field of study to solve the unique challenges of living and working in extreme environments. experience in the cosmos.
Mentor
Farheen Ahmed
Meet Farheen Ahmed, She is currently enrolled in a Bachelor of Architecture program at the University of Engineering and Technology in Lahore. Serving as a mentor in space architecture, she dedicates her efforts to crafting stable structures in space while prioritizing human well-being in such settings. Her research, notably focused on "Architectural Solutions for Human Well-being in Zero Gravity Environments," underscores her commitment to advancing livable spaces beyond Earth. Additionally, she has expanded her expertise by completing coursework on 3D printing of buildings at the School of Disruption and a specialization in sustainable cities offered by Johns Hopkins University via Coursera.
