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.

Existing

approaches

By studying existing architectural concepts

and designs that have been pushed by

architects and analysed by those specialising

in the space industries, it grants us better

insight in the design of the Mars outpost. The

pros and cons of different precedents will be

analysed and taken into consideration for a

more critical approach towards how a Mars

outpost should be.
