Description
Moon commemorates the 50th anniversary of the first manned lunar landing by examining the artefacts left on the moon from an architectural perspective for the very first time.
The book provides a detailed look at every mission—manned and unmanned—that has successfully landed on the moon. It spans from the early days of the Soviet and American space race, starting with the landing of Luna 2 in 1959, to contemporary missions like China's Chang'e 3 moon rover. This architectural guide stands out from other scientific and educational books through its abstract approach to moon architecture. Rather than delving into science fiction, it explores what structures exist on the moon and the implications these unusual structures may have for the future of architecture on other planets. This discussion is particularly relevant today as the commercialisation of spaceflight gains momentum, with SpaceX and NASA planning human missions to Mars in the coming 15 years.
Contributions from the Russian side include insights from Galina Balashova, the renowned architect of the Soviet space programme, and expert Alexander Glushko, son of the late chief engineer of the Soviet space programme, Valentin Glushko. Additional contributions come from Evangelos Kotsioris (MoMA), Brian Harvey (China), Gurbir Singh (India), and Olga Bannova (University of Houston).
