Hatem Alkhafaji is a newly graduated Architectural Engineering student. He believes sky is not the limit, And so he chose his senior project to be on the Moon. Inhabiting the space and other planets is an optimum reality due countless reasons. As the advancements in various fields on earth will be saturated, the idea of living on the moon becomes more implementable, hence the idea of designing cities for humans to live becomes a truth. Due to the different nature of the lunar environment, the need to design a habitation require new set of measurements, hence a new data-book will be needed. The book he has written would be the key for any future architects to design buildings that will survive with the Moon harsh environment; the data provided by his manual will guide them through the design stage. Eventually in the future, a new sustainable life on the Moon will be available for everyone.
