This lecture will introduce a design futures method that integrates interdisciplinary knowledge to design the future of space habitation. This method combines knowledge from various fields such as architecture, bioengineering, psychology, and sociology, creating a systematic framework from conceptual exploration to implementation pathways.

Two of our speakers will be familiar faces from HASS and ASD. Dr. Zhenxing Zhao (Senior Lecturer, HASS) will be speaking about gardens in Chinese poetry and art (a topic which he teaches on in his elective class), and Dr. Daniel Whittaker (Senior Lecturer, ASD) will talk about what we can learn about sustainable design from rainwater cooling strategies from gardens in India, Mexico, and Southeast Asia.
