Abstract

We find ourselves at a moment where it is quite realistic to develop space tourism and hotels, e.g. on the Moon. Is an architect needed in space? Is the unavailability of the terrain and difficult conditions justifying the container placement in a free manner, without thinking about the landscape, about aesthetics. As is currently the case in Antarctica. Without the application of developed principles of architectural planning, urban planning and spatial planning. The authors hope that, with the development of space engineering, astronauts-architects will fly into space. At the Faculty of Architecture of the Silesian University of Technology in 2017, the “Space Architecture Research Program” was inaugurated. The program aims to support scientific work and design concepts in the field of space architecture and cooperation in the field of virtual reality. The article will present two MA theses: “City on Mars” and “Spaceport Abu-Dhabi”.
