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.

Adapting
to the Mars
environment
Given the difference in environments, it is
crucial to understand the basic systems and
technology in place that would allow for life
to sustain on Mars. This gives better control
in the design of the outpost, and could also
be integrated together with the design.
While oxygen, access to water, livable
atmospheric pressure and radiation exposure
levels are the key factors that affects survival
on in Mars, gravity is a factor that has a
more direct relationship to architecture. By
designing architecture catered specifically
for Mars’ gravity and the way people move
on Mars, it ensures higher levels of comfort
as well.
