Inside; Mars [Architectural Thesis]
INSIDE ; MARS is a vision for a Mars outpost that is designed as a permanent working and living settlement in anticipation of increased human migration to Mars. With the accelerating growth and development with regards to space travel and Mars exploration, it is inevitable that humans will be setting foot on Mars, and a living habitat will need to be established. Yet, there is a lack of design catered to a martian habitat that integrates the social and psychological aspects of living in Mars, especially for the establishment of a colony that will be required to live on Mars for a minimum of 2 years before the next space flight back. Thus, this thesis will be a design exploration for architecture unique to Mars that would allow residents to not just survive, but thrive in correlation with the Mars environment.

How people
survive
Structure
Food, air, water, and shelter.
These are the basic necessities human beings
need to survive.
The central spine thus acts the heart of the
outpost as it is the provider of all the above
necessities.
Highlighted in red in the section, steel frames
run vertically throughout the outpost from
the center to the circumference, contributing
structurally to hold the trampoline and metal
mesh platforms in place. At the same time, it
houses pipes and cables that transports air,
water, oxygen, power, and waste throughout
the outpost. These are the life support
systems, covered in the next section.
The central spine also acts as the greenhouse
where crops are planted and experimented to
ensure a continuous and independent food
supply is available to sustain the inhabitants
in the long term. Planters are integrated into
the wall through the use of textured facades,
and is printed concurrently with the 3d
printed structure.
