9WinnerMYCOMARSMYCOMARS is an autonomous habitation unit which not only protects the inhabitants from Martian extreme environment, but also considers human comfort. A mycelial-based construction provides the right conditions: protects from radiation, thermal flux and dust, while still allowing natural light to flow through and requires significantly less energy to produce.
5Runner-upTHE MARTIAN LICHENStarting from studying how life began on Earth. An interesting pattern across all fauna and flora was found to help life thrive. The pattern to self-duplicate and self-similar across all different scales could most efficiently convey nutrition and water to the organism. It is more than a pattern but a tendency to be harmonious with the Universe.
157People's Choice AwardGenesis v.2Genesis v.2 takes the natural Crater forms on Mars to create a base for the future housing colony. The units are adjustable and can fit in different dimensions of Craters with minimal footprint. The project shows the incomplete quality of newly developing knowledge towards the future and establishes a system that might adjust to new scenarios.
4Editor's ChoiceMARS ROTORLong term habitation on Mars will require Earth-like facilities for rest and recuperation away from Scientific or economic outposts and encampments. By augmenting the low gravity with 'spin gravity', a more Earth-like environment can benefit future Martians.
13Editor's ChoiceInteractive ColoniesThe aim of this project was to compromise with Mars and try to use its existing potentials instead of confronting it. Using dust storms and human activities as generators of energy was one of our key approaches to this design.
4Editor's ChoiceSKY-NOVASKY-NOVA solves all the core problems of living on Mars while creating an inspiring environment to thrive. The project is architecturally rich and uses local materials sourced on Mars.
2Editor's ChoiceSHELL-TERFirst base placed at the bottom of the largest canyon in the solar system - Valles Marineris. The base shape of the dune seamlessly merges into the local environment, allowing inhabitants to be in unity with nature. The base takes the shape of a dune through the action of the wind and the displacement of regolith.
4Editor's Choice "Neo-Land" Mars Residence Design However, the world's population growth rate is decreasing, the population is saturate due to the limited amount of living resources. We will be working on the "Neo-Land" 40-person Mars colony project and will be designing a residential base on Mars within 4,000 m².The proposed time for the Mars migration will be the year 2100.
4Regenerative GrowthThe facility is a cancer facility that focuses on helping cancer patients transition into remission. The location of the facility, while not being a traditional location, is what will help create a treatment-focused plan for patients.
2Obsidian QuestThe Obsidian Quest is a conceptual hub and modular housing colony. It is located at Olympus Mons, a unique volcanic site, and centers around the research of food growing conditions such as soil, atmosphere, and climate in Mars, as well as the harvesting and rechanneling of lava.
0Wind ChannelerThe concept for this project was to develop an aerodynamic self-supporting structure that will inhabit a community of humans for the purpose of leisure and education. The Wind Channeler is made up of flexible elements that shred, in which will allow the community hub to grow, expand, and adjust as needed.
3Mars String HubThe aim is to create a habitable space for humans on Mars and help them miss Earth and inject more possibilities into the future。
0CELESTIAL INSETThe concept behind The Celestial inset our is to design a system in which we have a hub space and secondary spaces that support it and operate in a complementary way.
0Eureka TeraformaAn energy production factory on Mars that explores and mines the local surroundings.
20BIO-SCAPE, Search for life The name of the Project is BIOSCAPE to relate the biological research and the elements to be found, to the Martian landscape. The design is created by the Bio Spatial Web system that helps to create a relation between the terrain of Mars and the design for the hub. The structure represents veins, arteries, and the nervous system similar to the living body.
