Have you ever wondered why NASA’s space complexes look the way they do? If so, join us for a fascinating presentation by Jeffrey S. Nesbit looking at the stories behind the architectural design and development of NASA’s space centers in the 1950s and 1960s.

 

Jeffrey S. Nesbit is an architect, founding director of the research group Grounding Design, and a professor at Temple University. His research focuses on processes of urbanization, infrastructure, and the evolution of "technical lands." His latest book, Ground Control: A Design History of Technical Lands and NASA’s Space Complex, was published in 2024.
