The Architecture of Low Earth Orbit, the Moon and Mars
With humanity increasingly venturing beyond earth – launching rockets almost daily, occupying space stations and eyeing bases on the moon and Mars – space architecture is taking centre stage.
Jonathan Morrison, the long-serving Times architecture correspondent, embarks on a thrilling journey to uncover how we can design for life beyond our planet. From Soviet space stations to the ISS and upcoming lunar bases, he traces the evolution of space habitats and reveals how they were inspired by both science fiction and extreme earth environments like Antarctic bases.
With insights from astronauts, architects, engineers, and space tourism pioneers, Morrison explores the bold designs and ingenious technologies that may lead us to orbital hotels and Martian colonies. His ultimate question: how do we not just survive – but thrive – in space?
