Arctic lunar resistance

For three months they lived in their lunar habitat, remote, offline, isolated, in order to test on their own bodies the connection between architecture and well-being, as it could be experienced in space.

Lunark Exterior

Their habitat, LUNARK, is inspired by the Japanese art of origami folding. The space, which can be expanded by 700% to seven square meters, solves the space problem in space. Densely packed, well thought out, the space is aesthetically thoughtful and even equipped with plants. It's minus 22 degrees outside.

Sebastian Aristotelis, the leading architect of LUNARK, is himself a guinea pig: a 24-hour rhythm lighting system (Circadian Light) simulates natural light in all its nuances in the habitat. Not only does this light prevent insomnia, it also allows a sense of time and activates biological functions. People need variety, even in space. The Circadian Light is a perfect simulator of light and impresses NASA and astronauts as they no longer need sleeping pills.
