Foster + Partners Innovation Forum Habitability – From Space to Place Using exemplars from extreme terrestrial and extraterrestrial environments, this talk highlights the relationship between the built and ‘lived’ space and discusses basic concepts of ‘habitability’ and their translation into design. The social, psychological and also spatial significance of living in an extraterrestrial environment place demands not only on the type of persons who would be ‘best fit’ to inhabit such environments but also on the living spaces that must be crafted to support human habitation. One of the critical characteristics for living and working in those environments is the dependency on the habitat, its technological capability as well as the capacity to counteract the stresses of a closed loop, extreme environment. In this talk, Sandra summarizes the historical emergent process of development and integration of habitability issues into the design of terrestrial and extraterrestrial ICE facilities. Sandra has explored various concepts of the term Habitability for isolated, confined, extreme (ICE) environments from the perspectives of the inhabitants as well as the planners and social sciences. In her latest book, she has reviewed ICE habitats from the earliest exploratory missions, to the first mockups and simulated habitats, and to terrestrial in-situ facilities as well as human operated space habitats (Häuplik-Meusburger and Bishop, 2021).
