Space Technology:
"aesthetics. Above all I want you architects at this Seventh World Congress of the I.U.A. to realize that what the space scientists are working on is in fact the design of a house: that is architecture. The scientists are in your business competing with you in the solution of all the problems that a house for regenerative man involves. It involves every one of the fundamental principles ever discovered by man in Universe. The scientists are attending to the dwelling problems that you have failed to attend to or have left to someone else to solve, as for instance, the plumbers. When the prototype moon dwelling and its space autonomy mechanics are developed, and it has been satisfactorily test orbited for 100 days, and that house has finally taken man successfully to the moon, or to a space platform, there to dwell for months, then we will have history’s first scientific semi-autonomous dwelling. In that sky dwelling we will have the energy exchange processes, internal and external to man’s ecology, becoming locally regenerative.
“This process and its scientific tooling and instrumentation must become locally regenerative on an extraordinarily satisfactory basis before we shoot man to the moon or in”
