WORKSHOP "NEW WORLDS: DESIGNING THE COSMIC FUTURE"

April 26, 2024
About the workshop
The program included introductory lectures, master classes, and group project work.
It is an opportunity to immerse oneself in the world of space architecture and design, develop solutions that may be implemented in the future, and contribute to the development of life beyond Earth.
It was held as part of the "STEP BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES" competition of the International Congress of Young Architects and Designers.

The workshop served as a platform for exchanging ideas and developments in the field of space architecture and design, aimed at creating orbital living modules, bases on other planets, and developing technologies for sustainable living in space.

It brought together young architects and designers, as well as professionals from the space industry: astronauts, scientists, architects, and designers, to jointly develop fresh concepts for comfortable living in space conditions.
The event was held in both in-person and online formats.
