Abstract
Space architecture as a discipline is relatively new, but it fills a gap between the engineering approach to design habitats and other space facilities for humans, and the complexity of human factors oriented design—including personal psychology, creativity, and non-work related activities. In order to successfully fill that gap, space architecture needs to be taught academically. This chapter talks about known and potential approaches and methods, drawing examples from current space architecture programs and classes, and representative projects. The authors consider that space architecture approaches to design and planning are important to be introduced to students who are coming from the diverse backgrounds of engineering and architecture. Other disciplines may benefit as well.
