Currently, the International Space Station (ISS) and Tiangong Space Station (TSS) are the two operational space stations in orbit, supporting scientific research and long-term human habitation. A lunar orbiting space station, the Lunar Gateway, is beeing built to support NASA‘s Artemis missions. Additionally, plans for human missions to Mars are on the table. In addition to scientific opportunities, several commercial space station concepts are currently being developed:
This design studio challenges students to conceptualize a next-generation space station that serves as a testbed for future developments in space architecture.

Teaching: Sandra Häuplik-Meusburger
Guests: Peter Schattschneider (Physicist and Science Fiction Author), David Nixon (Space Architect), Marina Konstantatou (Foster and Partners, Space Engineering), Ted W. Hall (Artificial Gravity Expert) and others.
