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.

How people
live together
Vision
With the prior investigation, research, and
analysis done with regards to the habitability
of Mars and its corresponding fields in social
and psychological well-being, in establishing
the vision for the Mars outpost, we need to
consider the following:
1. How people survive
Establishing a site that physically allows
people to survive.
2. How people interact
The social and psychological aspects of
living that is especially required within a
larger community.
3. How people move
Leveraging on new ways of mobility and
spatial configurations to suit the unique
martian environment.
In considering how people survive, how
people interact, and how people move, it
would allow a system to be developed for
how people will live together on the Mars
outpost.
