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.

outpost
2050* Outpost:
The goal towards achieving a large scale
colony of a million people on Mars is
still a far reach. In preparation for future
developments on Mars, an outpost would
be required as a sample test for community
living and inhabitation while further
exploration is being carried out.
While In light of this, we can assume that the
first generation of Martians populating this
outpost would be professions that contribute
to the exploration and development of Mars:
Astronauts
Astronomers
Architects
Biologists
Botanists
Designers
Doctors
Engineers
Geologists
Scientists
Psychologists
* Estimated timeframe, subject
to resources put into accelerating
developments on Mars and other
administative decisions
