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.

zone
Benefits:
Daylight is maximised internally.
Being built on land, large windows allow
for views towards the Martian landscape
which allows inhabitants to contemplate and
reflect, improving long term psychological
health.
Limitations:
Structural integrity is lacking as the ice
would melt if the house is designed at areas
with temperatures above 0 °C.
Lack of spaces catered for recreation and
relaxation.
Unsustainable in the long run due to limited
ice from the northern regions of Mars, which
could also potentially be used as a drinkable
water source for inhabitants.
