New page

In January 2017, the online architecture platform Eleven announced the winners of their latest ideas and design competition Moontopia.

Moontopia was an international challenge on the subject of space architecture, aimed at exploring design-led solutions. Thinkers, students, professionals, architects, designers, artists, academics, scientists from around the world were tasked to propose visions for a self-sufficient lunar colony designed for living, working, researching and tourism.

Judging a winner from the hundreds of entries was a group of experts which included space-architects, academics and NASA designers.

The winning entry was:

Test Lab

by Monika Lipinska, Laura Nadine Olivier and Inci Lize Ogun

A medium-scale lunar colony, Test Lab invasions a base point in the frontline of space exploration and lunar colonisation. The winning team developed a design which acts as an initial base on the Moon to conduct further testing on a satellite. The architecture can be allowed to grow and construct itself through a method of 3D printed self-assembly, gradually colonising the Moon over time.

The most important structure of the Test Lab is the outer membrane. Based on a simple origami pattern and made of programmed carbon fibre, it has the ability to shape itself once it senses pressure variation with the first solar wind.

Momentum Virium in L1

by Sergio Bianchi, Jonghak Kim, Simone Fracasso, Alejandro Jorge Velazco Ramirez

This team decided to base their Moontopia in the lunar orbit rather than on the surface of the Moon itself. A space elevator links the man-made space-city with the natural satellite: a sensitive and elegant solution which mixes poetry with science-fiction.

The team reasoned that creating a livable space on the surface of the moon would require substantial amount of drastic changes which would be time consuming, inefficient and therefore irrational. Therefore, they proposed a space station not built directly on the surface but orbiting around the moon with a cable linked to the surface, a station that makes possible exploitation and investigation of the moon resources for mankind without changing its original state.

The people’s choice award was given to:

Modulpia

by Alessandro Giorgi, Cai Feng, Siyuan PanEsteban Analuiza

The general public’s favourite entry is designed as a unique form. According to a so-called aggregation system Weair-Phelan structure, it gives shape to an expandable landscape which could accommodate Moon dwellers in relatively economical, sustainable and simple solutions.

Modular in nature, Modulpia could grow organically in time and, by employ bioregenerative strategies, it would be able to provide its own food, plants (for CO2 removal and oxygen production), and generate drinkable water from graywater.

Several other entries were commended, including:

Platinum City

by Sean Thomas Allen

The fantastic graphics of this entry are equally matched by the extensive research which has given birth to its design. In its form alone, Platinum City is a fantasy-driven utopia. In its research, it is a new extraterrestrial urban model based on cutting-edge science and technology available to us today. Could this be a vision of what mankind living on the Moon at a large-scale could actually look like?

The world’s first self-sufficient lunar colony is a city fathomed as an organic computer, with its grandiose, drone crafted asteroid regolith architectures engorged on wet technologies and anchored to the platinum rich Rosetta Asteroid by a fragile tether of carbon nano-tubes that pierce the artificial atmosphere into infinity.

[[File:Moontopia5.jpg]]

Upside Down

by Ryan Tung Wai Yin, Ho Wing Tsit Teresina, Joshua Ho

There is clearly a lot of passion, thought and work behind this beautiful design. What makes this proposal so interesting is its phasing. In Upside Down, the design team set out a plan for interplanetary exploration and subsequent colonisation. Their real objective: Mars! The Moon is cleverly used to gather experience and resources… a sort of test-training site for a bigger galactic goal.

[[File:Moontopia6.jpg]]

WOMB

by Prapatsorn Sukkaset, Saran Chamroonkul

In this design, the Moon becomes an almost ego-less meditation ground. An escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life on Earth which drowns our senses and generates stress. In Womb, the Moon becomes a place of contemplation, where mankind can seek solace for deeper meanings in human consciousness. And for those times when meditation and contemplation is all but a little too much, then WOMB provides a space-motel catering for the perhaps more ‘animalistic’ human needs.
