DESCRIPTION:The Architectural Concepts Working Group of the Moon Village Association aims to foster an interdisciplinary platform for exploring architectural strategies\, technology and standards enabling solutions as well as spatial concepts for a future Moon Village. The group brings together expertise from architecture\, engineering\, human factors\, environmental and social sciences\, and related fields to address key challenges from multiple perspectives. Through regular thematic forums\, the Working Group will focus on specific topics—ranging from habitat design and construction to environmental constraints and human experience in extreme environments. \n\n\n\nThe objective is to encourage open exchange\, critical discussion\, and the integration of diverse viewpoints in order to develop holistic and forward-looking architectural approaches that contribute to the broader Moon Village vision and strengthen collaboration across MVA Working Groups and to provide actionable concepts to the international community. \n\n\n\nAs part of this initiative\, the Architectural Concepts Working Group is launching the Moon Architecture FORUM Series — a recurring online forum dedicated to discussion\, knowledge exchange\, and future-oriented thinking around lunar architecture and habitation. Each forum will focus on a dedicated theme and provide a space for interdisciplinary interchange\, serious discussion\, speculative thinking\, and the sharing of ideas\, research\, and experiences. The forum is intended as an open platform to collectively explore future directions and move the conversation forward\, and takes place on a quarterly basis. \n\n\n\nThe first forum is held under the theme:“Moon Village – From Vision to Reality – What’s Next?”It will take place on MOONday\, 13 July\, at 5:00 PM (CET). \n\n\n\nThis inaugural forum will explore different opinions\, philosophies\, and concepts surrounding the original idea of the Moon Village\, tracing how the vision of a human presence on the Moon has evolved through contributions from space agencies\, architects\, engineers\, researchers\, designers\, and thinkers across disciplines. \n\n\n\nRather than treating the Moon Village as a fixed concept\, the discussion approaches it as an open and evolving framework shaped by diverse interpretations — ranging from technological and infrastructural solutions to cultural\, social\, architectural\, and philosophical perspectives on future lunar life. \n\n\n\nOpen Call for short presentations – Deadline 30th of June\n\n\n\nIn addition to invited contributions\, the forum includes an open call for short presentations (10 minutes). Researchers\, professionals\, students\, practitioners\, and interdisciplinary thinkers are invited to submit an abstract of up to 500 words presenting ideas\, research\, projects\, or speculative concepts related to the Moon Village theme. \n\n\n\nSelected contributions will be invited for short presentations during the symposium. \n\n\n\nmoon.architecture@moonvillageassociation.org URL:https://internationalmoonday.org/event/moon-architecture-forum-series-episode-1-moon-village-from-vision-to-reality-whats-next/ LOCATION:Austria – Online\, Austria ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://internationalmoonday.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Picture1.jpg GEO:48.219200338751;16.371388159818 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20260720T000000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20260831T235959 DTSTAMP:20260625T120348Z CREATED:20260625T120347Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260625T120348Z UID:10000494-1784505600-1788220799@internationalmoonday.org SUMMARY:To the Moon & Beyond: Kingston’s Solar System Walk DESCRIPTION:Celebrate International Moon Day with a unique\, family-friendly experience in the heart of Kingston. \nThe Solar System Walk is a free\, self-guided trail that transforms Fairfield Recreation Ground in Kingston into a scaled model of our solar system—guiding you from the Sun\, past the planets\, and Earth’s Moon. \nRunning from 20 July – 31 August 2026\, this interactive walk lets you experience the vast distances of space on foot.

Si tratta di una celebrazione collettiva che intreccia performance artistiche\, mostre fotografiche e momenti collettivi per esplorare la relazione profonda tra la Luna e la psiche umana.\nL’edizione 2026\, costruita attorno al tema ufficiale “One Moon\, One Vision\, One Future”\, è interpretata attraverso una prospettiva mediterranea: la Luna come simbolo comune della ciclicità del tempo\, di trasformazione attraverso culture e generazioni diverse.\nLa Festa della Luna trova le radici nel paesaggio naturale di Pantelleria e nella sua cultura— un’isola vulcanica dove il mare\, il vento e il cielo sono sempre stati protagonisti. È un invito a guardare insieme verso l’alto\, e a riconoscere nella Luna un linguaggio comune dell’umanità.\nL’evento comprende performance artistiche ispirate ai cicli lunari e alla loro risonanza nel corpo e nella mente\n– Mostra fotografica di Nicola Ferrari “Rocce Lunari” che esplora il paesaggio lunare di Pantelleria\n– “Ciaula scopre la Luna ” di L. Pirandello. Drammatizzazione a cura di Antonietta Valenza e Lucia Boldi\n– Presentazione con l’Autore del libro “Volevo un tè al limone. La mia vita da bipolare” di Fabio Macaluso a colloquio con Ferruccio Osimo\, psichiatra e scrittore. Il termine “bipolare” contiene il concetto dei due poli\, due estremi\, due facce della stessa cosa. Come la luna piena e la luna nuova\, come la luce e il buio come l’oscillare continuo (ciclicità) che non si può fermare ma che bisogna saper navigare per sopravvivere.\n– Spettacolo di Teatro Danza con coinvolgimento del pubblico a cielo aperto. “Lunario” con Giulia Pesole\, Viola Centi e Gabriele Manfredi. Le sonorità popolari interpretano la “memoria sociale” dei popoli mediterranei con le tradizioni legate alla cultura contadina in rapporto alle fasi lunari. La “festa” è intesa come momento di aggregazione\, corteggiamento e sollievo alle fatiche estenuanti del lavoro agricolo. \nE inoltre…\n– installazione della luna su Corso Umberto\n– allestimento vetrine a tema lunare\n– Info Point di Astronomy Pantelleria con Leonardo Puleo che metterà a disposizione un telescopio per “catturare” in diretta le immagini del cielo e proiettarle su schermo in diretta URL:https://internationalmoonday.org/event/luna-e-psiche-ritmi-visioni-futuri/ LOCATION:PANTELLERIA\, CORSO UMBERTO I\, PANTELLERIA\, TP\, 91017\, Italy CATEGORIES:In Person ORGANIZER;CN="CIRCOLO CULTURALE CORSO UMBERTO":MAILTO:annasilvia2655@gmail.com GEO:36.830667119189;11.944825009999 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=PANTELLERIA CORSO UMBERTO I PANTELLERIA TP 91017 Italy;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=CORSO UMBERTO I:geo:11.944825009999,36.830667119189 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Tokyo:20260723T133000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Tokyo:20260723T170000 DTSTAMP:20260624T084148Z CREATED:20260624T084147Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260624T084148Z UID:10000493-1784813400-1784826000@internationalmoonday.org SUMMARY:Frontier Business Consortium Symposium 2026 DESCRIPTION:Space development toward the moon\, Cis-Lunar\, and Mars is becoming increasingly active both domestically and internationally as a “future” market that is expected to develop in the medium to long term.
