| summary |
Resource scarcity in extraterrestrial environments, like the Moon or Mars, imposes limitations on construction, necessitating resource and energy optimization. To respond to these challenges, this paper explores the development of a parametric framework, bridging the fields of space architecture, biotechnology, and parametric processes, allowing for the development of energy and resource-efficient structural components. The foundation for the framework is built upon ongoing research conducted in collabo- ration with NASA Ames Research Center, focusing on a mycelium-based aggregation of Martian regolith for construction. Due to the nature of the material and targeted environ- ment, the proposed parametrization process is based on specific assembly, growth, and fabrication requirements. The framework incorporates a feedback loop between design, computational simulation, and physical testing. The interaction of multiple systems, imple- mented through an iterative process and hybrid design approaches, enable continuous design refinement. These systems incorporate inputs from the interconnected disciplines that pose challenges when evaluated separately. The paper recognizes the challenge of identifying crucial parameters and implicit actions, and bridging the gap between theory and implementation. It calls for further work on programming the parametrization frame- work, and integrating computational simulations and data evaluation. In emphasizing the interdisciplinary nature of future space exploration and architecture, this paper under- scores the significance of integrating diverse disciplines and technologies. |
