MOON CAPITAL Competition 2010
an international design challenge

Olympics on the moon. Think about the potential of the pole vault in 17% gravity!

An engineered moon cusine which encompassing ALL vital nutrients!

Low gravity allows us to bounce much higher!

Defines an era where technology makes the distinction between real and virtual life, space and time, is on the verge of becoming indistinguishable; hence living in a blur – a mere extension to our lives at present time. ‘Spatial Blur’ enables humans to inhabit moon through real and proxy lives, while creating environments that are both real and virtual and inevitably defining a new sociological and architectural realm.

Zen Pod is a testing mechanism that confines one – as if on the moon – it motivates thought and encourages one to explore mentally in total confinement while collecting data on its inhabitant. 

Intensive psychological studies revealed that the problem of osteoporosis, which afflicted nearly all space-bound humans, could be overcome with a combination of mineral supplements and a new activity called “gliding.” Gliding is similar to swimming in the air. This new and preferred form of locomotion compelled designers to develop spaces that were within the Lunarian Logic (i.e. near vertical chases that link levels, continuous surfaces of program that wrap an interior in three dimensions, attenuated homes that are gleefully transgressed by zipping back and forth down long corridors).

Redesigning organisms – genetic engineering of organisms here on earth to make them adaptable to the lunar environment.
