BIG unveils sustainable, 3D-printed lunar igloos for Moon exploration

As part of its Plan for Sustained Lunar Exploration and Development, NASA has teamed up with architecture firm Bjarke Ingels Group, advanced construction developer ICON and SEArch+ (Space Exploration Architecture) to design Project Olympus, a system of space-based construction to support future exploration of the Moon. Developed with technology that ICON submitted to NASA’s 2018 3D Printed Habitat Challenge, the proposed lunar habitats would be 3D-printed using robotic, zero-waste construction for a reduced carbon footprint.
