A luminescent white shell, draped over a steel frame, houses a three-story “space habitat,” designed by and for students (ages 6 to 18) at Switzerland’s Institut auf dem Rosenberg in collaboration with SAGA Space Architects. The Rosenberg Space Habitat occupies a footprint of 78 square feet on the campus’s Future Park, a place to study and explore life on earth and beyond. Constructed to fit into a SpaceX rocket, the two-person, wedge-shaped vessel was unveiled on the anniversary of the July 1969 moon landing. According to the Copenhagen-based architects, the 23-foot-high habitat is the world’s tallest 3D-printed polymer structure comprising full-length pieces.
“The development of the habitat was quite a significant educational experience," says SAGA co-founder Sebastian Frederiksen, "but now is where the real education begins.”
