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.

Drones attached to 3d scanners
scans and analyses the cleared
site to establish base printing
point
Drones attached to claw
carriers transport and insert the
foundations into the holes dug
out by excavation rovers. These
claw carriers also act as hands
that can be remotely controlled
when required. Base printing
begins.
Drones attached to printing
nozzles begin the printing of
the outpost from bottom to top,
with the help of the claw carriers
to insert necessary structures
between printing. Filament top
up will be done at the filament
mixers.
After completion of printing,
Filament printers and
drones can be used for other
exploration work of the outpost,
or transported to other areas
for construction of additional
outposts.
