Mars Science City – Space Architecture Design Studio 2020
The Mars Science City design studio topic fits into the long-term vision to build a human settlement on Mars. The students were first asked to look far into the future and imagine what a city on Mars would be like. How do they think people would live in about 100 years on another planet? What would they take with them from Earth, and what would they want to see totally different? The student teams have developed a conceptual vision of this city. In parallel they researched and worked on the environmental, technical and social challenges of getting to and being on Mars. Each team was asked to identify three major challenges and / or characteristics, based on their vision. What would be needed to start the settlement in order to become the city they have imagined? This was the most challenging part for the student’s teams, and became the starting point for the individual architectural solutions of the near-term project on Mars.

REFLECTIONS
ON
SELF
ISOLATION
Being stuck at home can be challenging. Isolation, boredom
and living in a small place with a limited amount of people
are only a few of the challenges each of us is facing at
the moment. The students were given the task to create a
short video documenting their personal experience during
the COVID-19 shutdown. They were asked to critically
reflect their self-isolation expierence from an architects‘
perspective.
What are / have been the biggest
challenges for you?
How did you overcome them?
Which ones couldn’t you handle?
And what do you think would help in
terms of Architecture and Design?
