Premise
This competition challenges participants to design state-of-the-art lunar habitats for future Moon residents. These habitats should support human life and ensure well-being in the challenging environment of outer space. The goal is to push architectural design boundaries by creating lunar habitats with cutting-edge technology and advanced systems, providing not just survival, but an exceptional quality of life.
Issue
The primary issue is the need for advanced lunar habitats that can sustain and enhance human life. Lunar residents face unique challenges, including extreme environmental conditions, radiation exposure, temperature fluctuations, and prolonged isolation. The objective is to address these challenges and offer a comfortable, safe, and rewarding living environment that fosters a sense of home on the Moon.
Objective
The objective is to create lunar habitats incorporating advanced technology and systems to ensure residents’ safety and well-being, providing a high quality of life.
Site
- The competition site is the lunar surface, presenting unique architectural challenges.
- Lunar habitats should not exceed 100 square meters in base size and 5 meters in height.
- The lunar surface requires innovative solutions to overcome challenges like low gravity, extreme temperatures, micrometeoroid impacts, radiation, and resource scarcity.
Constraints
- Designs should be suitable for lunar environments, accounting for low gravity, radiation, and temperature variations.
- Architectural plans and 3D models should be for habitats between 100 and 500 square meters.
- Designs should incorporate closed-loop systems for recycling and energy efficiency.
- Habitats must prioritize astronaut safety and comfort for extended missions.
- Adherence to international space regulations is mandatory.
- Designs should be modular for ease of transport and assembly on the Moon.
- Innovative technologies and materials suitable for the lunar context are encouraged.
Submission Requirements
- 2 x A1 Sheets explaining the value proposition.
