nice overview but I expected more

Rated 4 out of 5

Many different parts of space archicture are discussed. But in my opinion they are just scratching on the surface und summarize some missions from NASA or ESA. If somebody is interested for this stuff and watches some youtube videos about it, many facts are already known. I know that all the information they are providing is good and probably necessary, but I think some topics should me discussed in more depth. For that it would also be possible to make the course longer.

For me the only reason to do the course was the certificate. That I can say its not only an interesst of me and watch veideos in my freetime.

Very interesting and inspiring course, but not perfect!

Rated 4 out of 5

I understand the vastness of the subject of the course that can be deepened thanks to the suggested readings, but sometimes I noticed that some aspects of some lessons were not very detailed or only mentioned. Other times I noticed the absence of entire ‘future lessons’ that had been announced by Dr. Imhof.

In general, in any case, it is a really inspiring and interesting course. The authenticity and passion that Dr. Barbara Imhof, Dr. René Waclavicek and Dr. Monika Brandić Lipińska convey make the course even more fascinating.

It really changed my vision of design and architecture of the future, and it represents for me the starting point of a path towards Space Architecture.

In conclusion I recommend the course to all designers and architects who want to increase their cultural background and design for a sustainable and prosperous future.
