Introduction

The dawn of the 21st century has seen Earth battling with the monumental pressure to fulfil the need for resources generated by the constantly growing human population. This realization has led us to search for new sources for our needs of resources elsewhere, with the moon being the most familiar destination.

Space exploration, with human habitation at its centre, will now become one of the next great steps in innovation. Finding a sustainable way to expand the human footprint beyond the Earth’s limits will soon become the next obvious step. Volume Zero competitions called all the inventive designers, architects, scientists, and space enthusiasts to imagine habitable environments on the surface of the moon.

The competition presented the opportunity to imagine a utopian future on the lunar surface that would make humankind a multi-planetary species. Participants were to design habitable spaces anywhere on the moon and explore deeper into the realm of space architecture.

Many innovative entries curated dynamic designs that resembled a sci-fi movie set yet displayed the potential to be a reality in the future. The winning entries stood out the most because of their out-of-the-box thinking and adaptability as per the lunar conditions.

Volume Zero thanks all the participating members and teams for their entries in the Moonception 2019 Architecture Competition!
