<Cesar>There must be a perfect place for open architecture to happen. Space
seem to offer a lot of possibilities.

The Lagrange Points mark positions where the gravitational pull of the
two large masses precisely cancels the centripetal acceleration required to rotate
with them. In simpler words: an empty still space with 0 attraction. In such a
space an architecture doesn’t need to be structurally resistant to exist, you can
create massive architectures with very fragile materials, they will just stand there
forever. <Cesar>
<Bedini>In space, in orbit you have a micro gravity environment so you can use
all the parts of the station, ceiling, floor included. So when you design an interior
you have to think you have 4 walls, you have the entire space, the entire volume
available to put functions and equipment and facility.<Bedini>
<Cesar>If you can build anywhere that also means that everything has to be
closed?</Cesar>
<Bedini>You need to have restraints on all things, restrains means some item to
fix things on the wall because if not everything would float around. You can use
for example velcro or elastics to fix the things, not magnets because magnetism
could damage electronic devices inside the station. It is not possible to design
a module from interiors because you have a fixed configuration of the exterior
structure, because the exterior structure has many constraints : the principal con-
straint is the pressure because you have inside one atmosphere; outside nothing!
So you have only a few geometrical shapes able to support one atmosphere inside
and zero atmosphere outside, you have cylinders, spheres or similar shapes. Then
you have constraints given by the launches, because you are in some kind of mis-
sile within a cargo bay. For example, for the space shuttle you have 4.5 meters in
diameter, that’s all... So can only have cylinders within this diameter...</Bedini>
<Cesar>Space is not so free finally... Or maybe the gateway to space is really not free...</Cesar>
