In today’s edition, we’ve gathered a mix of exciting innovations, timeless designs, and the latest trends. Let’s take a look:
3D Printing on Moon: Project Olympus is making space architecture a reality, using 3D printing to build sustainable structures on the Moon.
Space Architecture: Habitats on the Moon & Mars explores how we’re designing homes in space, because living on the Moon and Mars is the next frontier.
Smart Materials in Space Habitats reveals how innovative materials are making space habitats more adaptable and sustainable.
Mars Hydrosphere & Clouds Architecture imagines turning Mars’ atmosphere into a breathable space for humans, talk about thinking outside the planet!
Autodesk Fusion and Revit: FLEXHab uses digital tools to design habitats that could one day house us on the Moon.
Rosie: A 3D-Printed Moon Habitat shows how 3D printing could create the first homes on the Moon, sustainable and ready for long-term living.
BIG’s 3D-Printed Data Center brings the first 3D-printed data center to the Moon for seamless communication.
NASA’s Moon Rover Wheel explores how 3D printing can create wheels for lunar exploration.
We do not create the work. I believe we, in fact, are discoverers.
