The research paper explores a methodological approach for designing a habitation concept that does not need human assistance to be designed and built under extreme conditions when people cannot protect comfort conditions and cannot send project resources to the construction site. The methodological approach considers climate change on a global or local scale environment because some environments are 'extreme' for the survival of their natural ecosystems; instances include enormously common unfavorable climatic events such as extreme colds, severe droughts, or storms.

The work develops on contemporary research about comprehensive design approaches related to Earth's future and the current uninhabitable ecological locations. This research study uses annual weather data of extreme locations for human survival to develop a conceptual design of innovative habitation form and then simulate it with possible in-situ materials from literature review to analyze habitation's structural and environmental behavior under extreme temperature differences between interior and exterior atmosphere. Using insitu material is essential to construct autonomously designed habitation by using additive construction technologies. In this regard, research phases including layout configuration, form-finding, a structural and environmental analysis aim to explore a habitation concept implemented with generative design tools as a decision-maker in extreme conditions. Within this research project, due to the numerous extreme challenges of the design of habitation in extreme conditions by using conventional approaches, a performance-driven design methodology is done to provide a rational and sustainable design methodology to tackle extreme environmental barriers of the future.

Abstract

The research paper explores a methodological approach for designing a habitation concept that does not need human assistance to be designed and built under extreme conditions when people cannot protect comfort conditions and cannot send project resources to the construction site. The methodological approach considers climate change on a global or local scale environment because some environments are 'extreme' for the survival of their natural ecosystems; instances include enormously common unfavorable climatic events such as extreme colds, severe droughts, or storms. Another point is also important to realize that global climate change is causing particular, extreme ecosystems to become common. Note. For more information on climate change and its consequences with future projections, see Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2018)[1]. The work develops on contemporary research about comprehensive design approaches related to Earth's future and the current uninhabitable ecological locations. This research study uses annual weather data of extreme locations for human survival to develop a conceptual design of innovative habitation form and then simulate it with possible in-situ materials from literature review to analyze habitation's structural and environmental behavior under extreme temperature differences between interior and exterior atmosphere. Using insitu material is essential to construct autonomously designed habitation by using additive construction technologies. In this regard, research phases including layout configuration, form-finding, a structural and environmental analysis aim to explore a habitation concept implemented with generative design tools as a decision-maker in extreme conditions. Within this research project, due to the numerous extreme challenges of the design of habitation in extreme conditions by using conventional approaches, a performance-driven design methodology is done to provide a rational and sustainable design methodology to tackle extreme environmental barriers of the future.
