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.

Hellas Planitia
Hellas Planitia 38 is “an impact basin blasted
into the Red Planet’s surface by ancient
meteor impacts” (Letzter,2020). Located
closer to the equator, it is the most low-lying
impact basin on Mars, at about 7152 meters
deep, thus its surface receives around 50%
less radiation compared to other areas on
Mars.
Underground lava tubes located on Hellas
Planitia thus provide as a viable location for
building a habitat on Mars.
Dao Vallis region
Dao Vallis 39 is a canyon on Mars, northeast
of Hellas Planitia (southwest of volcano
Hadriacus Mons). They are formed by the
collapse of plateaus, and are accompanied
by zones of pit chains and collapsed debris
masses, indicating potential underground
lava tubes.
Average radiation dose recieved in
the US: ~ 6.2 mSv/year
Radiation on higher elevated regions
of Mars: ~ 240 - 300 mSv/year
