The project aims at creating a covering from a mixture of lunar soil and organic matter to form a resilient alloy, isolating the internal environment from the external to provide protection against solar radiation and potential meteorite impacts. Its self-supporting configuration will be enabled through advanced large-scale printing technology.
The essence of the project focuses on creating a microenvironment akin to Earth’s, including a recreational space with a swimming pool for residents’ enjoyment.
Considering the moon’s 16.6% gravity compared to Earth’s, prolonged exposure can have severe impacts on human health. Therefore, the project aims to explore this peculiarity in a playful and innovative manner.
To simulate Earth’s gravity, an octagonal structure will be implemented, generating centrifugal force to replicate gravity. Occupants will experience synthetic gravity inside while enjoying a controlled environment outside, taking advantage of the moon’s reduced gravity.
The main structure consists of eight modules: Kitchen, Bedroom, Bathroom, Refrigerated warehouse, Vivarium/Garden, Entertainment room, General Control Room (water and energy), and Engineering Room.
Solar panels are strategically positioned on the exterior for optimal energy capture, influenced by the tidal effect, ensuring Earth remains in a constant position. Water capture is carried out using filters and probes due to its scarcity, with large reserves of frozen water easily transported, benefiting from the Moon’s low gravity.
