Zignego Mario Ivan, Gemelli Paolo, A smart mockup for a small habitat, 2020, vol. 14, nr 2, s. 467-479.
The
aim of this paper is to propose an innovative process in small
habitats design based on the use of smart material and structures.
Space flights represents the extreme challenge in design for long
time life support systems, nevertheless a number of analogues of
space mission exists: submarines, terrestrial explorations,
supertankers, mountaineering, natural and built simulators, small
remote community and Antarctic winter bases. The concept proposed
here is based on the use of a mockup enhanced by the utilization of
smart materials and smart structures that permits to track the user
experience and consequently optimize shapes, volumes, lights,
color and the others characteristics.
