Bachelor
of Architecture: Space Architecture (SICSA)
University
of Houston - Houston, TX
The Sasakawa International Center for
Space Architecture (SICSA) is a unique
interdisciplinary
research, design and teaching academic center that supports
the
world's only Master of Science (MS) degree in Space
Architecture. In 2015 The Texas
Higher Education Coordinating
Board approved changing the degree to a master of
science with a STEM
— science, technology, engineering and math —
designation. We
are academic leaders in the field of space
architecture and are also active in the

planning and designing
of facilities for extreme environments on Earth. These
include
ocean facilities, polar research stations and human
disaster accommodations. Graduates
will also conduct trade
studies and learn about operational factors which contribute to
the
design, such as logistics, orbital mechanics, transportation
cost trades, etc. Our
collaborators have included
NASA, The Boeing Company, Oceaneering, and the
Houston
Airport System/Houston Spaceport.
