Abstract
A Conceptual design of "Space Colony" for long-term residence is reported in this paper. As constraint conditions, micro gravity and high vacuum are considered in the structural design. Although such conditions are constraint, they have possibilities to be utilized for further innovative human life style which can not be realized on the ground. Especially, the environmental condition of micro gravity may have great impact to the life style from the viewpoint of mobility and immobility. In this paper, we propose some conceptual designs of the space colony utilizing micro gravity and discuss its characteristics.
