VILLA ON THE MOON
ENVISIONING LUNAR LIVING IN 2050
SUMMARY
BRIEF IN SHORT:
In this competition, we invite imaginative architects, designers, and dreamers to embark on a journey beyond Earth’s atmosphere. The challenge is to conceive a visionary concept for a residential villa on the moon, set in the year 2050. As humanity extends its reach into space, how do we translate the essence of earthly living to an extraterrestrial environment?
Participants are encouraged to explore uncharted territories of architectural design. Proposals should consider the extreme conditions of the moon, such as reduced gravity, extreme temperatures, and the absence of atmosphere, and how these factors impact architectural design and the overall living experience.
How can architectural innovation on the moon lead to breakthroughs in sustainability, self-sufficiency, and living in harmony with a new environment? How can your villa enhance the experience of its residents, offering them a serene yet stimulating space amidst the desolation of the lunar landscape?
