Outer space has always captured the imagination of the general public. New advances in technology (including comet landings, the Orion Spacecraft, and the large scale social experiments leading to a Mars exploration) mean that outer space in no longer a place only astronauts will get to experience – but something you and I can experience within our lifetime.

We are on the cups of the second great age of space exploration.

We firmly believe it is time to update the conversation. The technology is here and architecture has some catching up to do. The Outer Space competition is seeking proposals that envision space exploration in the near future (100-200 years). What kinds of structures will be developed to move, house and sustain people? How will robotics, Al, autonomous spacecraft, and satellites enhance our reach? The most successful entries in the competition will leverage the real scientific advances being made today to create fantastic visions for the near future.
