Useful and Informative

July 31, 2024

As an architecture student, I found this course to be quite fascinating in which you will dive into a new world of architecture, space architecture, which uniquely sets itself apart from architecture on earth. The course highlights interesting details such as the experience of designing in the orbit, the moon or Mars, and the use of modern technologies. The course gives students the opportunity to explore space design in a creative and an analytical way, which helps them develop their skills and enhance their understanding of space design in a comprehensive and advanced manner.
