# Futuristic Moon Village Designs A Village on the Moon Could Normalize Interplanetary Travel By Francesca Mercurio | Published 2021-09-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon References: [designboom](https://www.designboom.com/architecture/mahdi-eghbali-amlashi-roma-moon-village-09-03-2021/) Mahdi Eghbali Amlashi has designed a futuristic village concept on the moon. After extensive research, the designer has envisioned a village that can house 100 people - including researchers, tourists, scientists - between 18 to 60. Through a series of renderings, Mahdi Eghbali Amlashi illustrates the designs of a meeting area, a motion virtual reality game room, a solo gym, a robot-operated restaurant, a kitchen, and a space for [hydroponic planting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plan-b-1). Due to the expensive cost of delivering materials from earth to the moon, the village will be constructed using [3d printing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drop-pod). The establishment of a [village on the moon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/longterm-lunar-exploration) could mark a major step at normalizing interplanetary travel and improving the quality of life of the next generation of humans.
