Long-term permanence of human beings on the surface of the Moon poses several problems, due both to the health hazards towards which it is necessary to take shelter, and to the economical sustainability of the mission. We briefly describe the mathematical and numerical tools needed to project a 3D-printed lunar shelter aimed to overcome such problems, and we present and discuss the resulting optimized architectural design, provided by Foster + Partners.

Abstract
Long-term permanence of human beings on the surface of the Moon poses several problems, due both to the health hazards towards which it is necessary to take shelter, and to the economical sustainability of the mission. We briefly describe the mathematical and numerical tools needed to project a 3D-printed lunar shelter aimed to overcome such problems, and we present and discuss the resulting optimized architectural design, provided by Foster + Partners.File in questo prodotto:
