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.

HB2 | MARS SCIENCE CITY
TIMELINE
1 DELIVERY AND LOCATING | 2050
The first mission will deliver cargo and a Rover to land on
Mars. While the general location will already be known,
the rovers’ task is to find the ideal spot within the area.
2 CARGO DEPLOYMENT | 2053-2065
Initial cargo components of the settlement have reached
their destination in landers. The two rovers take all components
to the settlement location, release the swarm team,
deploy external structures such as solar panels and radiators,
and prepare for the later arrival of the astronauts.
3 PRELIMINARY HABITAT | 2061
6 EXPANSION | 2085
Multiple Crew Expansions, several crews of astronauts have
now landed on Mars. They are received by their predecessors
who have completed the construction of the settlement.
As successive Mars atronauts and people arrive, the settlement
will grow in its capacity for scientific research, experiments,
and exploration of Mars, and eventual general living.
7 AUTONOMY | 2105
By this point the astronauts are almost autonomous of
earth and quickly fill the city to its full capacity. The expansion
continues to be built at maximum efficiency.
The swarm team, rovers and 3D printers begin to work
on the base of minimal configured habitat. The inflatable
is now set up and the shell is 3D printed.

4 CREW ARRIVAL | 2064
We are ready for the First Crew Arrival on Mars.
Later, cargo missions arrive, bringing additional
living units, life support units, and rovers and swarm.
5 SUBSEQUENT INFRASTRUCTURE | 2068
All further missions in the years after the arrival of the first
crew are to benefit infrastructure and to begin expansion.
The infrastructure for the second crew arrives and is installed
by the first crew. Multiple habitats and ECLSS modules
are now available to nominally sustain the first crew and
to complete pressurization of the two new living modules.
