Today we are witnessing a renewed enthusiasm for space exploration, with scientific expeditions, satellite launches, and the emergence of space tourism pushing us to reconsider our relationship with our planet.
Other Space Odysseys has nothing to do with Space Architecture or architecture in outer space. It is not a celebration of high-tech architecture and imagery or extreme physical and mental conditions. Instead, this book proposes a letting go of architecture understood as the production of -material goods in favour of architecture as the production of ideas.
How can thinking about space lead to fresh perspectives on earth? Greg Lynn, Michael Maltzan and Alessandro Poli present different avenues for approaching this question. Their odysseys, real and virtual, ultimately promise a rediscovery of our own world.

今日、私たちは宇宙開発の再燃を目の当たりにしている。科学的な遠征、人工衛星の打ち上げ、そして宇宙旅行の出現は、我々の惑星との関係を見つめ直すよう後押しする。
Other Space Odysseysは、宇宙建築(Space Architecture)や宇宙空間における建築についての本ではない。またそれはハイテクな建築やイメージ、あるいは極度の身体的・精神的コンディションを賞賛するものでもない。その代わりに、この本では具体的な製品として建築を理解することから一旦離れ、アイディア製品としての建築を提案している。
宇宙についての考察は、地球に対してどのような新しい見方をもたらすだろうか? Greg Lynn、Michael Maltzan、Alessandro Poliはそれぞれ異なる手段でこの問いにアプローチする。彼らの冒険旅行は、現実とバーチャル、ひいては私たち固有の世界を再発見することを約束する。
