Spacevehicle-building represents a peculiar design problem with many stringent requirements, including unusual surrounding conditions and severe cargo limitations. The latter is caused by the launch system capabilities and impacts on the internal room’s dimensional and mass characteristics. Therefore, one of the Spaceship’s design challenges consis...

Long-term human space exploration requires appropriate design strategies to deal with extraterrestrial conditions, including the perception of zero gravity. Studies have shown how microgravity negatively impacts living beings' physiology, causing non-negligible effects on the human body. Many proposals in the literature exist for a space station wi...

This paper presents the development of SIENA-Space Identity Evaluation aNd Assignment-based on duck typing for automatic recognition and semantic enrichment of the architectural spaces. This method is known in computer science as a form of abductive reasoning and leverages on the observable features of an object in order to establish its recognitio...

Human-crewed Space missions have had a renewed interest in recent years related to long-term strategies for humankind's sustainability. It involves avantgarde scientific fields and deals with the vital problems of shielding astronauts from the hostile extra-terrestrial environment as well as to provide them comfort in order to guarantee an acceptab...
