Gui Trotti and Dava Newman will discuss pushing human limits to the extreme drawing on their extensive experience applying architecture and design to space applications. The talk and Q and amp A session will centre around exploration education design architecture and science. Gui Trotti is the president of Trotti and amp Associates Inc. an architectural and industrial design firm working on Space and Earth projects. He focuses on designing for extreme environments such as Antarctica where he has developed the design for the new South Pole Station. He has worked for NASA on lunar bases Mars vehicles and the International Space Station. Dava Newman is a former Deputy Administrator of NASA and Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics and Engineering Systems at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dava focuses on space travel especially to Mars. With the idea of long-duration space travel in mind she is designing space suits to combat things like extreme bone loss. She gives a lot of focus to the mathematics involved with the development of the suit design in order to improve suit mobility and practicality. and nbsp |
