At the fourth level of the third phase of the competition, 11 teams were asked to submit their designs as part of a program of design and dissemination of several videos explaining their choices, each model being evaluated according to its urban design and aesthetics, ease of construction and scalability.

The previous stages of the competition were focused on urbanization and the technology needed to build each element of the "SEARCH + LAPISCOUR" With their twisted design structure, which is filled with small holes to allow natural light to infiltrate into the home.

As for the team "Zoperhous"What won second place, put a group of engineers and artists in a design composed of 4 different zones, including a planting area.

The three teams shared the value of the prize ($ 100,000), but the contest did not end at this stage, but the candidates had to submit three-dimensional models of their designs and compete for the prize. $ 800,000..

This is not the first time that NASA has been developing projects to bring humans back to the moon and Mars. The agency announced in November that nine US companies were allowed to bid for contracts worth $ 2.6 billion over the next ten years. At the moon.
