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.

Life support requirements
This includes the systems required to
get the outpost running, to allow for
smooth operations and to create a safe,
habitable space for the inhabitants.
It would thus include the necessary
water, air, and waste systems, solar
cells for power generation, as well as
transport systems considering the scale
of the underground lava tubes.
WATER
AIR
Exploration and research facility
The exploration and research facility
requirements includes the working
labs, fabrication and collaboration
spaces, greenhouses for farming on
Mars, and equipment needed for
spacewalks and explorative work such
as a space suit hatch and a sample drop
off-area.
Living necessities
Lastly, the living necessities. This
includes both private and social spaces
- private being the individual living
pods, and social being communal
spaces such as communal kitchens and
public spaces for recreational or social
activities. Another important space is
also the gym as fitness is an important
trait that astronauts need to maintain
their muscle mass in a low gravity
setting.
