D.N.A.Designing New Abodes on the Moon: Pioneering the First Permanent Lunar Station

The realization of the first permanent lunar settlement is going to mark a historic moment that will reverberate throughout history. As we embark on this endeavor it becomes clear that the design of an outpost on the Moon must transcend mere functionality and instead be conceived as an iconic work of art, paying homage to humanity’s unwavering quest for the unknown. Grounded in these principles, this research is centered around the design of architecture, drawing inspiration from the most fundamental essence of life itself: human DNA. Within its complexity lie the secrets of our existence and the capacity for growth and adaptation. Drawing a parallel with the first human settlements that emerged within caves, the structure embeds itself entirely within a lava tube to leverage the natural protection of lunar soil. Symbolically mirroring the intertwined double helix of our genetic code, the architectural form of the station emerges.
