THE INTEGRAL
SPACE HABITATION
Towards an
Architecture of Space
I believe it is inevitable that in the fullness of time humanity will colonize Space. Integral traditional space settlements will draw on the most profound capabilities of human experience. I propose large-scale centralized pneumatic tensile-lattice structured enclosures that exploit the polyaxial nature of microgravity.
I offer a radical revisioning of
Space Architecture.

Yoga and Meditation
Traditional Architecture
Socio-Political Power
and the
Philosophia Perennis
Global civilization needs a return to traditional principles to survive. Modern society, by denying the spiritual perspective, is now in crisis. But in the architectural discipline, the timely resurgence of a living and vital tradition is taking place. We are seeing a true global gnosis. I term this
Radical Tradition.
