We are happy to communicate the new issue of Manual of Architectural Possibilities (MAP 007 Orbit) is out.
Over half a century after Sputnik reached orbit, nations have populated and regarded this domain as a remote and detached reality, only to recently realise, that as a territory, it is an extension of the Earth, where interventions can have serious implications for the realm they inhabit, and for the surface and infrastructure below. In essence it is a landscape, a spacescape, a vertical continuum of our habitable surface. Presently, these relationships and repercussions are starting to become more complex, uncharted and out of control.
MAP 007 Orbit charts the history of our activities in orbit and its consequences while speculating with alternatives and proposals in this realm.
