Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue is to present the latest research findings and ideas with respect to the theme of Extraterrestrial and Extreme Environmental Buildings to readers around the world.
The needs for incremental social development require human exploration of unknown areas. The exploration and development of extraterrestrial space will become another important incremental development of mankind after the great voyage. Extraterrestrial buildings are important infrastructure for long-term exploration and for facing the extreme extraterrestrial environment, as they provide artificial shelter for extraterrestrial life. Extraterrestrial buildings include planetary buildings on the moon and Mars and in-orbit buildings such as space stations. At present, many countries and institutions have proposed the construction of extraterrestrial buildings.
The advantages that the architectural discipline has in the development of extraterrestrial buildings lie in its holistic thinking, its ability to create a suitable living environment, and its experience in resisting extreme environments. Carrying out research on extraterrestrial buildings from an architectural perspective has important significance. Drawing on the experience of extreme environmental architectural design on the earth, it will provide theoretical and strategic methods as well as technical support for the design of extraterrestrial buildings. At the same time, research on extraterrestrial buildings will promote the development of buildings on the earth from multiple perspectives.
