HABITAT ON THE MOON The Lunar environment provide freedom for imagination and exploration. Yet in order survive, man would have to situated in an absolute controlled environment. A new kind of relationship between man and built environment is established with the aid of robotic intelligence.
4 Habitat for Intellectual Exploration on the Moon
HABITAT ON THE MOON Inspired by Cybernetic Serendipity, the first exhibition about interactive arts and robotic intelligence in 1968, THE LUNAR OUTPOST WOULD BE AN ARTIFICIAL ENVIRONMENT FOR THE COHABITATION OF HUMAN AND ROBOTIC INTELLIGENCE.

3. Platform for seamless exchange between human and artificial intelligience.
INDIVIDUAL CELLS Considering the outpost as an hermitage, it would be self-sustainable in both life support and psychological health of its habitants. A MIXED OF ROBOTIC AND GREEN LANDSCAPE provide the food supply and leisure environment , INDIVIDUAL CELLS ensure a more intimate relationship between human and the immediate surroundings.

ARTIFICIAL LANDSCAPE Robotic circulation become part of the habitation, situating between the units ,greehouse and air-locks. This can be viewd from the windows and circulations bridges as part of the virtual landscape.
REGOLITH CONTROL Vertical support is connected to the air lock. A long distance between the airlock and the habitable space ensure the minimum amount of regolith from entering the habitation.

Another major inspiration is the movements at the site. The site is a place full of flux : vehicular flow, wind, noise andwater.Wind and sound has been taken as the major attributes to define circulation, program-atic and enviromental strategies of the design.Wind and sound are both movements that can provoke instant sensations of people.

AIRLAB - EARTH INSITITUTE Starting from a serious of model investigation, the Air Lab use porosity in space and membrane for the Air Lab , a science facility for studying climate change of the Earth Institute, Columbia University in downtown Manhattan. Inspired by the sponge material exploration the building seek to brought in information and visitors into the facilities while ensure the privacy for the scientists.
SOUND, AIR AND SPONGE The project is started from two different side of investigation: Material Studies and Site Strategies.Material: By studying the performance of soft and hard expandable foam with balloons. The performance of the solid and void can the suggest program and membrane possibilities.
Site: The sponge like material performance is associated with the character of the site: The building is interpret as a sponge of absorbing and dispersing the sound and air of the site.

Programmatic Adjacency
POROSITY Membrane of the Air Lab create spaces with different porosity and thus different degree of privacy.
Visitors, on the other hand, could be informed by the air and sound passes through the membranes for the science activities behind the enclosed spaces.
below: Exploded axonometric drawing showing the porosity membrane interact with major functional spaces and create in-between spaces for programmes and environmental strategies.

Work Station for One Person for 24 Hours Shift in Extreme Condition36POROSITY A cell for climatologist working in extreme environment for a 12/12 hours shift, the climatologist station is a space that would change with the environment.
Inspired by the term ‘phenomenological’, the cell is constructure by overlaying spheres of different contents which monitor the temperature, light and colour of the space.
Climatologist Station 37
Work Station for One Person for 24 Hours Shift in Extreme Condition38
CONSTRUCTION PROCESS The spheres of different size will be transported to site hollowly. The spheres can be filled elements that is abandon: water or sand to become structural.
The combination of different material enhance phenomenological effect inside the station.

41Gyroscopic Field
Model for Magnetic, Gravitational and Air Field42
Gyroscopic Field
1. There will be 3 constant fields acting on the object
a. Gravitational fieldb. Magnetic fieldc. Air Pressure
2. The object rotates due to the field. The space occupied by the object remains the same.
Nylon rings joined bysimple rods allow for 360 degrees of rotation.
Printed resin capsattached to the centerof each series ofrings provide colorvariation.
3. Another volume is formed when several of the objects aggregate. The performance of the field is the same between the original object and the aggregated model.
4. To intensify the performance of the fields multiple scales of the object are constructed to perform at different dimensions
5. The movement of the object induces new magnetic fields and air pressure that start to affect the neighbouring object, which a feedback loop is created between them.
6. The observation of the object is unrelated to the visual angles but only in relationship to the area that the fileds are acting upon.
Steel wire wrapped around the outer edge of eachring adds a third materialquality to the object andacts as a force attractor.
Activated by the force of a magnet the rings open and rotate creating a three-dimensional surface transformation.
The rotating rings are printed within a nylon connection system that joins the rings together and also houses the rails and joints that allow for the gyroscopic movement.
The nylon connection system has points for object to object connections. These points allow for connections in multiple directions.
