During the 2012 spring term 25 students in the Master of Architecture program realized their vision of a future research base on the Moon. Re-thinking design challenges through a change of perspective (i.e. extraterrestrial environment) has been a critical part of this design studio. This course has been accompanied by theme-specific lectures and workshops with space experts.
