Descrição: Depending on when we start counting, this book's genesis was in 2002, or the 1970s, or the late 19th century, or 10,000 years ago. Humans have been using permanent materials to make architecture--the willful shaping of the physical human environment--for about 10 millennia. But the earnest notion of inhabiting outer space awaited the rapid advancement of industrial technologies around the dawn of the 20th century. Jules Verne, Konstantin Tsiolkosvky, and other visionaries started looking up, seriously considering how humankind might travel into the novel environment of space. The dreams became real within only decades, as humans left Earth orbit for the first time in 1968. Shortly thereafter, architect Maynard Dalton and industrial designer Raymond Lowy designed the interior of NASA's first space station, Skylab, and incidentally established the field of space architecture. Long-duration missions forced space agencies in the United States and the Soviet Union to solve real problems posed by humans living and working in space.
