Simulating Space
Abstract: he late visionary architect Lebbeus Woods once said; "We inhabit space in which we are not sure how to move". With increasing environmental destruction and rising see levels we might soon be forced to literally inhabit space, in which we definitely are not sure how to move. Astronauts have continously reported problems with orienting in space and of unhomely space interiors. So, what would good zero gravity interior design look like? How do we maintain the practical design values of zero gravity while making it more in line with architectural values and human wellbeing? Do any of our classical architectural elements keep their functional value, and if not, what other values could they have? These are questions that are explored in this paper.
