These books are 50/50 space related and general theory of habitation and domesticity. If you are more focused on the "Space" part of it all, I fully recommend checking out the books with "Mars" on the cover. "The Architecture of Closed Worlds" has to do with enclosed ecosystems and how they handle energy recycling. "Nomadic Subjects" and "The Secret History of Domesticity" have to do with a historical overview of domesticity and how it alters itself through the lens of gender and time. "On Growth and Form" has to do with design adapting natural forms. I am very open to chat about this selection!!!!!
