About the course

The Sasakawa International Center for Space Architecture (SICSA) is a research and design organization within the University of Houston. SICSA brings more than 30 years of internationally recognized experience in habitat research, planning and design for space and extreme terrestrial environments. Such settings share many urgent problems and issues. They typically impose logistic transport challenges for people, equipment and supplies, present severe facility construction and operational constraints, demand careful attention to habitability, performance and safety under isolated, confined conditions, and heavily rely upon all practical means to optimize energy-efficient, ecologically-responsible strategies. Terrestrial planning applications include remote oil and gas exploration/production camps, emergency natural disaster response operations and shelters, and rapid military troop deployment accommodations for harsh, undeveloped locales.
