🚀 The Cosmic Scoop

In this expansive and deeply human conversation, Phnam Bagley challenges everything we think we know about architecture. From floating tables to engineered space hearts, she reimagines what it means to design for a future where gravity is optional and emotion is essential.

Together, we explore the untold questions of life in space:

• What is a “table” without gravity?
• Can architecture heal isolation?
• Do space-born humans need new organs?
• And above all: Are we building habitats—or are we building ourselves anew?

This isn’t just about design. It’s existential. And it’s urgent.

💬 Quotable Insights

💐 “You don’t design for the void. You design for the soul inside it.”
 💐 “Maybe you don’t need a flat table. Maybe you need a soft, spherical one with holes to hold your apple in zero-g.”
 💐 “If the ground disappears beneath you, maybe it’s time to build one inside yourself.”
 💐 “The aesthetics of survival is still survival.”
