Other recent designs for the moon include a similarly expandable and self-sustainable lunar habitat by a startup called Instarz and a human lander designed by Elon Musk for a 2024 mission scheduled to carry the first woman to the moon. SOM, or Skidmore, Owings & Merill, is a global architecture, engineering and urban planning firm founded in 1963.įormed in 1975, The European Space Agency is an intergovernmental organisation dedicated to space exploration. "It will help us prepare for a changing climate and pioneer new methods of building for a variety of environments." A community of units forming a lunar village "Designing a self-sustaining settlement on the moon in such a hostile environment will teach us invaluable lessons about sustainable and resilient design," said Koop. "Just as innovation from the mid-century space race brought us beneficial technology that we otherwise would not have, the Moon Village will enable the research and innovation that will help solve pressing problems here on Earth."Īs well as providing a liveable habitat in space, Koop suggested that the project would offer insight into how we might build more adaptable settlements on Earth in the future. Koop explained that while there is no definitive timeline for the project, it is designed to be realised with existing technologies and those emerging in the near future. The modules are intended initially for scientific research The project was informed by European Space Agency director-general Jan Wörner's concept of a Moon Village, an international community he defines as one whose members could live and work alongside each other in space.Īs a lunar settlement, Moon Village is intended to encourage collaboration between countries and communities rather than competition. The installation addresses the biennale's theme for this year that looks towards the future and asks, "How will we live together?" An interior view of an inflatable unit Life Beyond Earth includes a scale model for an individual inflatable unit, as well as a site model showing a collection of units that would make up the village. Related story SOM designs inflatable Moon Village to be first-ever lunar habitat "Material that will help scientists better understand the formation of our world." "Its location was also chosen in part to enable access to undisturbed material from the early history of the Solar System," SOM design partner Colin Koop told Dezeen. The habitats would be located in the south polar region because it gets a lot of daylight throughout the lunar year, which would allow the units to harness sunlight for energy. "Unlike other inflatable designs, which place structural mechanical systems at their centre, this solution creates an open interior that allows for optimised environmental conditions, air distribution and recycling, as well as visibility, efficiency and mobility," said SOM associate director Georgi Petrov. This shell would feature a layer to protect from micrometeorites and a layer made of open-foam polyurethane and double-aluminised Mylar for insulation. A scale model and site plan are included in the installation

The modules are designed to be inflatable so that they could be compressed and transported to the moon by rocket, where they would be expanded to full size.Įach of the units would be built around a hybrid structural design that would include a rigid titanium alloy perimeter frame and a soft structural shell.
