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
1ST HOME
The most important characteristic of the first unit is the
outer green belt. It acts as an exercise track, a source of
food, noise barrier and a place to relax. It divides quiet
private quarters from the noisier common and working
areas. The central glazed domed part hosts the socializing
areas and the radio and communication platform as well as
a stargazing net hammock. In the initial expansion mode,
the separate homes would be connected by linking of green
belts through similar green corridors.
