We invite you to come envision the unseen future of humanity on Moon. We call you to imagine and create the first human habitation outside of earths perimeter and celebrate the golden age of space exploration.
Ever since the beginning of mankind, we have developed an unexplained affinity towards the various celestial bodies around us, our captivation being held by the moon at the center of all of it. This fascination is visible right from humankind's illustrations in the caves from thousands of years ago to our latest works in literature, astronomy, astrology, architecture and many other fields of studies. Our love for moon and race to explore new horizons, we have created history in the mid 20th century, with the first steps of mankind on the lunar surface. This drive and fascination for the moon have led us to believe that it could be the next destination for humans.

The Norman Foster Foundation is selecting ten students to receive a scholarship for the upcoming On Cities workshop, to be held at the Norman Foster Foundation headquarters in Madrid, Spain, from May 27 to 31, 2019.
The workshop aims to develop concepts of space and the city through an interdisciplinary bibliography, focusing on the poems of João Cabral de Melo Neto (O cão sem plumas) and the narratives of Maria de Lourdes Teixeira (Rua Augusta), João Antônio (Malagueta, Perus e Bacanaço), and Patrícia Galvão (Parque Industrial). These four writers turn their attention to the city, engaging with urban-architectural space through the perspective of the walker who, in some way, modifies these spaces. By exploring different ways of narrating the city, the sessions seek to awaken participants' awareness of the elements that shape it, and how the subject—this body in motion—interacts with them.
