SUMMARY:Moon Architecture FORUM Series - Episode 1: Moon Village – From Vision to Reality – What’s Next?
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\nAgenda\n\n\n\nMoon Architecture FORUM Series – Episode 1Moon Village – From Vision to Reality – What’s Next? \n\n\n\n13 July 2026 | 17:00 CET \n\n\n\n\n\nFirst Part (Recorded) \n\n\n\n17:00–17:15 Welcome and Introduction to the Architectural Concepts Working Group \n\n\n\nSandra Häuplik-Meusburger and Piero Messina \n\n\n\n17:15 – 17:40  Keynote & Q&A \n\n\n\nJan Wörner \n\n\n\nMoon Village. From Vision to Reality: What’s Next? \n\n\n\nWe are honoured to welcome Professor Jan Wörner as the keynote speaker for the inaugural episode of the Moon Architecture FORUM Series. As the originator of the Moon Village concept\, he has inspired a new approach to international cooperation\, bringing together space agencies\, industry\, academia\, and emerging actors in an open and collaborative framework. His vision has profoundly shaped the international dialogue on humanity’s return to the Moon and provides the ideal starting point for our discussion on the future of lunar architecture. \n\n\n\n17:40 – 18:00 Selected Presentations from the Open Call \n\n\n\nWalls that make laws – Phan Ngoc Gia Bao (10min) \n\n\n\nDesigning for uncertainty – Zac Messmer (10 min) \n\n\n\nSecond Part (Participants only\, Live) \n\n\n\n18:00 – 18:55 Moderated Open Discussion \n\n\n\nMoon Village.
