Design for Extreme Environments

Fri, Mar 18, 2016 @ 12 pm2 pm

SALON: RISD Industrial Design Department Senior Critic and NASA Coordinator Michael Lye on “Design For Extreme Environments.”

Since 2004, Lye has overseen “Design for Extreme Environments,” RISD’s interdisciplinary studio collaboration with NASA’s Johnson Space Center Human Factors and Habitability Office to define future spacecraft and habitats for exploration beyond low Earth orbit. Join Lye to learn why astronauts are like 90-year-olds and how designers are helping to envision and define how we will live in the habitats of the future, in space and here on the earth.
