DESCRIPTION:Oscar Arenales\nThis seminar will focuses on the space archite
 cture projects and professional life trajectory of the architect Oscar Are
 nales\, exploring concepts on space station\, lunar bases and planetary ma
 nned missions\, with an emphasis on human exploration and our possible nex
 t cosmic interactions.  We will examine futuristic hidden programs and sp
 ace exploration\, along with provocative hyper-civilization encounters. Cr
 ucial moment in our history where we can explore many concepts and technol
 ogies that still far beyond us\, this is an invitation in the need to over
 lap our times and try to travel ahead of the bounds of known science or ma
 jor theories.\n\nOscar ARENALES was born in 1958\, in Bogotá\, Colombia.
