Résumé:
Many societies have imagined going to live in space. What they want to do once they get up there—whether conquering the unknown, establishing space ''colonies,'' privatising the moon’s resources—reveals more than expected. In this fascinating radical history of space exploration, Fred Scharmen shows that often science and fiction have combined in the imagined dreams of(...)

Résumé:
Many societies have imagined going to live in space. What they want to do once they get up there—whether conquering the unknown, establishing space ''colonies,'' privatising the moon’s resources—reveals more than expected. In this fascinating radical history of space exploration, Fred Scharmen shows that often science and fiction have combined in the imagined dreams of life in outer space, but these visions have real implications for life back on earth. For the Russian Cosmists of the 1890s space was a place to pursue human perfection away from the Earth. For others, such as Wernher Von Braun, it was an engineering task that combined, in the Space Race, the Cold War, and during World War II, with destructive geopolitics. Arthur C. Clarke, in his speculative books, offered an alternative vision of wonder that is indifferent to human interaction. Meanwhile NASA planned and managed the space station like an earthbound corporation. Today, the market has arrived into outer space and exploration is the plaything of superrich technology billionaires, who plan to privatise the mineral wealth for themselves. Are other worlds really possible? Bringing these figures and ideas together reveals a completely different story of our relationship with outer space, as well as the dangers of our current direction of extractive capitalism and colonisation.

In this penetrating collection of essays, prominent scholars and architects take up the challenge and set about rigorously "analyzing Ambasz."

The dossier, preceded by a text of Manuel Bouzas on the importance of fieldwork in architecture, brings together six projects that use natural materials – stone, earth, wood, bamboo, straw, and fabric – applied without artifice, in a journey ranging from the density of the dwellings by Josep Ferrando or Tuckey Design to the lightness of the temporary structures by Marina Tabassum or Mentrestant.

This issue of the magazine zooms in on Fuller’s seven principles: 4D, dymaxion, synergetics, geodesic, tensegrity, design science, and Spaceship Earth. Besides highlighting examples of various designs and projects, it also reprints Fuller’s article "Experiment in Individual Initiative".
