PROJECT OLYMPUS
Motion design / Composting
ICON which is specialized in 3D printing habitat has received funding from NASA and launched "PROJECT OLYMPUS" to reach for the stars with an off-world construction system for the Moon. World-renowned architecture firms BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group and SEArch+ have signed on as architectural partners for this audacious project.
Based on the latest NASA works on Artemis Mission, the goal was to build a habitat on the south pole for future missions on Moon, Mars and beyond.
