SOM's design for a Moon Village builds upon the European Space Agency's vision for a lunar

settlement based on international and interdisciplinary collaboration. This design is shaped not

only by engineering considerations but also by an understanding of human experience within

their living spaces and a dedication to fostering a comfortable, sustainable habitat.
Additionally, the Moon Village initiative seeks innovative approaches to human coexistence
and resource utilization, offering insights that can be beneficial for addressing challenges on

Earth as well.
