THE MARTIAN LICHEN

Starting 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.

First 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.
