Abstract

How can architecture adapt the complex engineering systems of a Mars colony to sustainable human life? Migration and travel has evolved from the dawn of humanity to the automotive and flight industries of current times. Now interplanetary travel is on the forefront of technological innovation. Innovation is created by those who dream farther forward than current society can understand, and it is necessary to push the boundaries of technology to make the impossible practical. thinking ahead to design for future interplanetary migration is a needed step to compel the world forward, as well as architecture and it’s boundaries therein. The primary goal of this Thesis is to practically design a Martian colony in which a building can combine the following requirements for sustainable life on the Martian surface.
