    SpatialFlux: Soft Robotic surface in zero-g

    Published on Nov 21, 2017

    This year the MIT Media Labs CityScience group had the rare opportunity to think of Architecture at the scale of the body, that was literally out of this world. The result.... a seamless pneumatic surface that morphs to embrace the human body in zero gravity.

    Structurally, zero gravity means that we do not have to contend with architecture's greatest arch-nemesis, gravity. This opens up a new world of possibilities where we can deploy structures that no longer have to counteract/resist gravitational force. We explore new forms of rapid inflatable prototyping in this project. Most importantly, this prototype explores surfaces utilizing materials that would normally fail on Earth, yet flourish in zero gravity.

    This 'skin' could be the future of how we live in space

    Published on Jul 5, 2018

    MIT researcher Carson Smuts is thinking about life in zero-gravity where the traditional rules of architecture do not apply. With the help of City Science and the Space Exploration Initiative, his project Spatial Flux looks into the future of architecture as the Earth gets more crowded and humans spend more time in space.
