This research explores the concept of a climbing-based lunar habitat as an alternative to conventional static environments, focusing on human body interaction in reduced gravity. Inspired by the natural formations of lunar lava tubes, the project investigates how irregular, vertical, and multi-directional surfaces can redefine movements and spatial engagement in extraterrestrial architecture. By studying the ergonomics of movement in low gravity, including climbing, hopping, and other dynamic body coordination, the research challenges the sedentary work-life paradigm commonly found in on-Earth architecture. A key aspect of the study is the relationship between human movement and architectural form, informed by both computational design and material exploration. Comparative analysis of terrestrial lava tubes and human adaptability in extreme environments provides insights into spatial design strategies for lunar habitation. Additionally, fabrication method such as 3D printing is explored to develop construction techniques suited for lunar materials.

Ultimately, this project aims to create a playscape-inspired habitat that not only supports basic functions of survival, but also enhances physical and psychological well-being through active engagement with the built environment.

Infrastructure is a system in cities that is designed to aid the life of the people. In Jakarta, the trace can be found throughout history with a major one started in the colonial period with city wall and canals construction. Eventually, the post-colonial government took over and continued the infrastructure development in forms of street and public transportation. In each of the development stage of city planning and infrastructure, there could be found various political intentions that resulted in social implications that translated into city image and people’s identity. The paper delves into some instances of Jakarta’s planning and infrastructure throughout the history to witness the city’s transformation in forming today’s street-center culture of Jakarta. Map reading exercises are mainly used to form connections with photo archives and commentaries on electronic medias to understand the dynamics of government domination and responses from civic daily movements.
