Architecture of Sintered-Regolith Lunar Polar Microhabitats for Biofilm Research

This started as my architecture thesis and eventually evolved into a small computational study on sintered-regolith microhabitats for biofilm research at the lunar poles. I tried to bring together geometry, polar illumination, thermal behavior, and biological response in a single simulation framework using NASA planetary and OSDR data. It is not intended as a mission-ready habitat design, but more as a starting point for identifying configurations that might be worth exploring with higher-fidelity simulations or experiments. I thought it could be interesting to share here and see where the idea might be taken next:
