INTERFACULTY GRADUATION: LUNAR ARCHITECTURE & INFRASTRUCTURE
Mirroring the interdisciplinary nature of space colonization projects where engineers, architects, roboticists, and space scientists work together to achieve common goals, the new interfaculty course, Lunar Architecture and Infrastructure (LA&I) is designed to foster collaboration and shared objectives among students from various faculties. It is open to all TU Delft students and addresses challenges of space colonization.
To survive in outer space, humans need protection from radiation. Such protection requires architecture and infrastructure to ensure habitation and accommodate various activities ranging from living to working while relying heavily on In-situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) and a high degree of automation.
The themes from Aerospace Engineering (AE), Civil Engineering and Geoscience (CEG), and Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) are summarized in the ABE, AE, CEG, and EEMCS posters. Additional information is available in the course brief.

- In the zip file, check the file named 'AI_Msc2_Video Template. prproj' file, other files are just reference images and videos used for the template.
- Replace the movies to keep the current effects on the video.
- You will see the following titles on the template: '3D Printing', 'Design', 'Node', and 'Robotic Arm': These are just the sections in the template. You can also reach those sections by double-clicking from the general video section, which is 'Movie 1'
- If you do not have the font used on the video on your laptop, upload those to your laptop/computer: settings > control panel > fonts. You(at least Windows users) can copy-paste the font to the 'fonts folder' on your laptop.
