Adaptability to changing mission 4. Pressure requirements 5. Exo Biology 16. Reaction to changing user-preferences 6. Dust 17. Human/machine interface 7. Gravity 18. Safety 8. The external/internal interface 19. Layout design ease of human mobility 9. Deployment and packing configuration 20. Thoughts about the social and organizational aspects of life in the base 10.

Psychological issues should be considered as the HUMAN CENTERED DESIGN approach. To create a habitat for Long Duration Mission the psychological Human reliability became fundamental for the mission success. Creativity, harmony and variety are MACHINE CENTERED DESIGN doesn't take into account the key words! psychological factors as the Multidisciplinary has to be used from confinement ones. In particular in the start of the project. the Space we have all the kind of confinements: a. dimensional (spatial) b. temporal Art and Design must be take in to c. social d. biological account NATURAL DESIGN HABITAT ON THE MOON (SCHLACHT) - LUNAR ZEN GARDEN (ONO) Natural Design Natural structureNatural can bestructure used for can a lunarbe used base for to Lunar increase Base the well-being. Pea Schematic (Good Design, Munari, 1963) Habitat project from Moon-Mars Workshop (ESTEC 2005) NATURAL DESIGN HABITAT ON THE MOON (SCHLACHT) - LUNAR ZEN GARDEN (ONO) Natural Design Natural Design is a discipline based on natural elements aimed to create a context of art and design interactions that will increase the psycho- physiological well-being. There are two main philosophies about Natural Design; - one assumes to use the natural elements present in the local environment (ex. Space radiations) - the other is the recreation of biological stimuli (ex. evoking natural structure presented on the Earth) The Zen garden composition is an application of NATURAL DESIGN methodology that is based upon the evocation of natural structures (ex. Sea weaves). NATURAL DESIGN HABITAT ON THE MOON (SCHLACHT) - LUNAR ZEN GARDEN (ONO) Natural elements and biological stimuli are characterized by VARIATION AND VARIABILITY Humans need Variation and Variability in which they have evolved. The basic terrestrial stimuli that we need are: Variation and Variability, to obtain a state of consciousness, opposite to the inanimate artificial stimuli that create a sense of deprivation and feelings of drowsiness. (Mahnke, 1996; Schlacht 2006). Color variation can improve wellbeing. This turn in positives effects on reliability, productivity and emotional stability that are essential aspects for the success of long term missions NATURAL DESIGN HABITAT ON THE MOON (SCHLACHT) - LUNAR ZEN GARDEN (ONO) Variation and Variability The concept of Color Variation and Circadian Variabiliity variation and variability can be in Natural and Confined Artificial Habitat applied for a lunar habitat interior décor, employing a lighting system that creates the same color variation available in the Earth’s day cycle (Schlacht 2007). This has been developed, for example, from the Italian brand I-guzzini with Sivra’s Circadian Light System. Recreation of Earth light variation by Sivra lamp, I-Guzzini. NATURAL DESIGN HABITAT ON THE MOON (SCHLACHT) - LUNAR ZEN GARDEN (ONO) Lunar Zen Garden A form of OuterZen Space garden Art, Natural on the Design Moon application, and occupational art therapy © Ayako Ono NATURAL DESIGN HABITAT ON THE MOON (SCHLACHT) - LUNAR ZEN GARDEN (ONO) Zen Garden and Natural Design The Zen Garden style called “karesansui” literally means “dry landscape.” As a Natural Design application, the main elements of karesansui are rocks and sand that engender calmness by symbolizing the sea and the water stream as minimal compositions. NATURAL DESIGN HABITAT ON THE MOON (SCHLACHT) - LUNAR ZEN GARDEN (ONO) Landscape (Spacescape) Design Mt. Fuji shaped Kougetsudai at Ginkakuji Temple, a Zen temple, was established in 15th century. An innovative design to enjoy the reflection of moonlight and to feel the pretty view with the moon placed above the mountain. NATURAL DESIGN HABITAT ON THE MOON (SCHLACHT) - LUNAR ZEN GARDEN (ONO) The Role of Zen Garden Stimulation and Relaxation It combines: The Lunar Zen - Natural Design application Garden - Psychological support (Art Therapy) Mountain – - Cultural utilization of the Moon containing one - Outer Space Art (Spacescape Design) aluminum module and three inflatable modules – will shield against intense radiation. Physiological principle is found in the charm of symmetry.

Separate different sizes of grains. Remove middle-sized grains. 2. Keep bigger rocks. 3. Moving on small regorith particles to around the large rocks. What humans will do: 1. Making the plan for the spacescape on a Zen Garden table version or a PC 2. Maintenance for the rover. NATURAL DESIGN HABITAT ON THE MOON (SCHLACHT) - LUNAR ZEN GARDEN (ONO) Flower Shaped Solar Panels - Rotating Systems to Point Toward the Sun - Colourful solar panels could be used. - Currently, colourful solar panels are being developed at Gifu University in Japan. NATURAL DESIGN HABITAT ON THE MOON (SCHLACHT) - LUNAR ZEN GARDEN (ONO) For Space Tourism Art in outer space could be shown via cameras and monitors to everywhere and it will become a tourist attraction. The tourists in the spaceship to be put into orbit around the Moon will be able to see the garden from the orbit via binoculars. Perhaps the spacescape will be seen from Earth via telescopes as well. NATURAL DESIGN HABITAT ON THE MOON (SCHLACHT) - LUNAR ZEN GARDEN (ONO) CONCLUSION NATURAL DESIGN HABITAT ON THE MOON (SCHLACHT) - LUNAR ZEN GARDEN (ONO) CONCLUSION Everything produced in nature is original, with no two plants, animals or stones being the same. (Munari 1953). To maintain a state of consciousness, we need the Variability of stimuli in which human life has been evolved (Mahnke, 1996). Natural Design, using natural elements of the Moon or evoking stimuli of the Earth, can increase the well-being and the reliability of the lunar exploration crew. (Human Centered Design). Art and design will occur as a part of space exploration to make human use of space complete and successful. Lunar Zen Garden as an example of Natural Design applications can be a psychological support for a human mission. It have implications in the newly emerging field of space tourism.
