International space architect, technologist and researcher Melodie Yashar shares her perspective on the ethics of space settlement and designing resilient homes for off-world living.
As space agencies plan human outposts on the Moon and Mars, space architect, technologist and researcher Melodie Yashar asks, ‘How can we promote a sustainable, equitable future in space?’ Yashar’s research explores the ethics of space settlement and how openly accessible construction methods such as 3D printing can be used to create resilient structures. Yashar’s talk will be followed by an in-conversation exploring access, sustainability and resilience.
