THE CHALLENGES

Electricity

Greenhouses and habitats need to be heated up since its in average -50°C on Mars

RADIATION

Mars has no iron core like earth, therefore cosmic radiation hits mars surface without any bufferny

Water

New samples from the surface of Mars have shown that there is plenty of water. This must be extracted and cleansed.

Oxygen

The Martian atmosphere consists of 95.97% carbon dioxide (CO2) and almost no oxygen.

FOOD PRODUCTION

Mars is covered with regolith in contrast to earth rich in nutrients soil. This is a dry material that contains perchlorate chemicals that are toxic to humans.

PROJECTS

The following projects have been part of a university course at the Münster School of Architecture (MSA).
They are short term projects that were developed within 4 weeks – from the first idea to the final presentation.

Elysian Plains

A self-sufficient landscape under the martian surface.

Habitat

Mankind strives for the unknown!  From the not yet explored we learn new things. To explore something, you have to venture out.

REFUGIUM

A REFUGE offers space for about 20-25 people. This can include families, couples or singles. In a REFUGE, living together in a community should play a major role.
