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.

Benefits:
HDPE provides radiation shielding while
allowing light in, maximising daylight
internally.
Making use of a prefabricated core allows
for services and equipment to be fixed onto
the structure on Earth. This reduces time,
efforts, and human intervention required to
install and shift them in prior to printing.
The garden provides a natural space for
recreation and relaxation, ensuring long term
psychological well-being.
Limitations:
HDPE is unable to block out all the radiation,
and still serves as a weak point in radiation
shielding if it is used in the majority of the
shell.
3d printer is concealed within the shell
permanently after printing. This prevents
ability for reuse in printing of other modules,
as well as takes up space which could
otherwise be used for planning of other
recreational activities
