Interstellar Metaphysical Architecture: Cognitive and Aesthetic Habitats for Post-Terrestrial Civilization

This study introduces a novel framework, Interstellar Metaphysical Architecture, for designing space habitats that transcend mere engineering objectives, addressing human psychological, cognitive, and spiritual needs in isolated extraterrestrial environments. The primary goal is to integrate neuroarchitecture (examining brain responses to built environments), metaphysical design principles (including sacred geometry and Persian-Islamic philosophical heritage), and advanced technologies (artificial intelligence and mixed reality) to transform habitats from “survival machines” into “temples of the body” and “spiritual machines.” The research employs a theoretical-analytical method, based on a systematic literature review (covering neurobiology, biophilic design, and space ethics) and cultural concept integration (such as Persian gardens and cosmic domes). The conceptual study population is analyzed via content analysis of relevant texts. Data collection relies on literature review and conceptual analysis, validated through empirical studies (e.g., ۶۰% stress reduction with fractal patterns). Analytical methods combine interdisciplinary concepts (neuroscience, philosophy, architecture) and evaluate design strategies’ effectiveness (e.g., Hammer Habitats and Ethereal Light). Findings indicate that integrating metaphysical elements (e.g., “phenomenology of weightlessness” and “algorithmic wisdom”) significantly reduces the Break-off Effect and enhances astronauts’ psychological resilience. This framework transforms space habitats into “ontological lingerpoints,” fostering post-terrestrial civilization alignment with the cosmos.
