Visionary space architect Constance Adams gives her final interview, reflecting on a career devoted to helping humans thrive in extreme environments.

In THE SPACE ARCHITECT, visionary space architect Constance Adams gives her final interview, reflecting on a career devoted to helping humans thrive in extreme environments. From designing skyscrapers for Kenzo Tange to developing habitat concepts for NASA missions to Mars, her work was guided by a single question: What do humans truly need to flourish when everything familiar is stripped away? The result is a series of groundbreaking architectural innovations that continue to inform how humans will live in space - and on Earth.

Facing terminal cancer, Adams transforms lessons from space exploration into a blueprint for confronting climate change on Earth, offering a profound meditation on creativity, resilience, and what it means to live well. Drawing on Adams's archives, housed at Yale University, the film animates her notebooks, sketches, and ideas, weaving them together with her final interview to bring her visionary thinking vividly to life. The result is both a portrait of an extraordinary designer and a deeply human reflection on how we might adapt, endure, and imagine new futures.
