Question
HI. I am a student pursuing an architecture degree and presently in 4th year. I have been reading a lot about Lunatic architecture (moon base buildings) from a long time. I also have a keen interest in astronomy. Is there is connection between architecture and astronomy? Like for designing moon base buildings or hotel..an architect must have knowledge of maths and science. so there must be some institutions where an architect can further study in this field? Can you help me regarding this?
It is very important for architecture and astronomy to work together, especially in designing buildings like you say.
I do not have enough knowledge in this area however to give you an answer.
You might want to contact someone at NASA for this.
