SOL - 187 & ECLIPSERA
Environmental Design
2026
This project proposes a dual-orbit infrastructure in cislunar space to address global warming and space debris. Sol-187 is a planetary-scale solar regulation shield, composed of modular units that control solar exposure while capturing space debris and filtering interplanetary dust. Uninhabited and fully automated, it serves as the first layer of planetary defense, remotely monitored and controlled from the station Eclipsera. In contrast, Eclipsera is an orbital station designed as a space of reflection and altered perception, focusing on the lived experience of inhabiting space. Through artificial gravity, weightlessness, and shifts in time, it amplifies a sense of distance from Earth. Together, the project explores architecture as both intervention and experience, questioning how far humanity is willing to go to confront a global crisis, and what emotional and existential distance is created when Earth is managed from above—where, in space, it is perceived as a single, shared home without borders.
