Human migration to space will be the most profound catalyst for
evolution in the history of humankind, yet this has had little
impact on determining our strategies for this next phase of
exploration. Habitation in space will require extensive
technological interfaces between humans and their alien
surroundings and how they are deployed will critically inform the
processes of adaptation. As humans begin to spend longer durations
in space-eventually establishing permanent outposts on other
planets-the scope of technological design considerations must
expand beyond the meager requirements for survival to include
issues not only of comfort and well-being, but also of engagement
and negotiation with the new planetary environment that will be
crucial to our longevity beyond Earth. Approaching this question
from an interdisciplinary approach, this dissertation explores how
the impact of interior space architecture can meet both the
physical and psychological needs of future space colonists and set
the stage for humankind to thrive and grow while setting down new
roots beyond Earth.
