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.

Years later the settlement starts to to look like a a real city. The third and
last significant expansion forms a a city with its its own government.
Industrial manufacturing keeps growing, as as does food production.
The goal of of complete self-sustainability is is closer then ever.
One of of the further possibilities, if if technology allows, could be to
cover the whole city with a glass dome, providing a safe environment
and allowing people free movement within city limits.
More cities will rise further in the future, but this one will remain
humanity’s first significant step on on Mars.
