IDEEA One: The First International Design for Extreme Environments Assembly

极端环境中设施的设计、建造和运营是一个棘手的问题，由不同的建筑师、工程师、科学家和管理人员组成。正在进行的努力的例子是空间站和行星站、水下和水下设施、极地地区研究站和偏远住宅区的设计。尽管环境有很大的不同，但在这些环境中维持人类生命的许多问题是相同的。在这一领域工作的人之间交流经验和知识对解决这些问题可能是有价值的。这笔赠款为国际极端环境设计大会提供了部分支持，该会议将于1991年11月12-15日在休斯顿大学举行。这次会议将提供一个环境，来自不同国家和学科的专家可以聚集在一起，分享有关解决当前和未来实际问题的信息。

The design, construction and operation of facilities in extreme environments present difficult problem, shared among a diverse group of architects, engineers, scientists and managers. Example of efforts underway are the design of space and planetary stations, facilities in and under water, research stations for the polar regions, and remote dwellings. Although the environments are quite different, many of the problems of supporting human life in these environments are shared. The exchange of experience and knowledge among those working in this field can be valuable in addressing these problems. This grant provides partial support to a conference, the International Design for Extreme Environments Assembly, which will take place at the University of Houston, November 12-15, 1991. The conference will provide a setting where experts from a variety of countries and disciplines can meet to share information about solving practical problems, both for today and the future.
