Isolation, space habitats, and secure facilities design
This PhD project will build on fundamental research being undertaken by Psychology and Architecture researchers at the University of Adelaide associated with the Andy Thomas Centre for Space Resources (ATCSR). The industry focused PhD project is developed in conjunction with Grieve Gillett Architects, an award-winning design practice that blends architecture, interior design, heritage and urban design, and is a leader in secure facility design in South Australia.
The aim of the research is to develop architectural design guidelines for Secure Facilities, and other extreme environments like Deep Space Habitats, based on an evidence-informed understanding of the Psychological Impacts of Isolation. The successful candidate will work with University and industry supervisors on the research project, and will also undertake an internship with Grieve Gillett Architects during their candidature.
Expected Outcomes
- A Scoping Review of literature relating to Psychology of Isolation, Secure Facilities Design, and Deep Space Habitation.
- A Systematic Review of literature relating to Trauma Informed Design (TID) in Secure Facilities, Space Psychology and emerging techniques to deal with Isolation, Design Principles for Extreme Environments.
