I was wondering, if we were to live in space (not on a planet) what materials would we need to make houses? What would we need to live? Does anyone know a interesting site about Housing in Outer Space.

Try reading "The High Frontier" by Gerard K. O'Neill. It was published in the 70s, but it's still worth reading. Or there's this - http://www.space-frontier.org/

Look up the international space station to get an idea

For the most part, with minimal shielding, you will be safe from background radiation, however at times of intense solar activity, you wold require a heavily shielded area most likely a lead lined area shrouded in a water jacket.

what you are looking for must be something like space station. it is mostly plastic and metals. but still you will be dependent on a larger source for the most of things.

I'd check out NASA.Com, and look what's going in for the ISS...
