Bjarke Ingels recently divulged his intentions to build on the moon by 2032. In a new interview withForbes, Ingels talked about his firms involvement with ICONon the NASA-fundedProject Olympus, saying "solar-powered lasers" will be used to "essentially melt moon dust into a sort of lunar obsidian" for later use as a 3D printed building material.This is seemingly in reference to the next generation of 3D printers made by ICON, which Ingels discussed as part of our in-depth conversation on the topic in March. (He also said: "Technologies that are developed for the difficulty of building on the Moon and Mars actually end up necessitating innovations that are useful here on Earth.")BIG is using a similar process for the astronaut base in the Mars Dune Alphaanother project partner Jakob Langetalked about with Archinect in detail in December of 2021.
