Very cool course. These should be university courses. I once wrote a work in English with the help of https://au.edubirdie.com/english-assignment-help where I examined books dedicated to space. I did a very interesting paper about sci-fi books that influence science.

The AA Visiting School in Jordan exploring extraterrestrial interventions sounds like an incredible blend of architecture and futuristic ideas. It’s amazing how projects like this push the boundaries of creativity and innovation. Speaking of unique experiences, it reminds me of trekking through Hampta Pass, where the landscape feels almost otherworldly—just like the concepts being explored here. The mix of science, design, and imagination in AA MARS is truly inspiring. It’s exciting to see how such projects can shape the future of architecture and beyond. Great read—thanks for sharing this!
