Moving to Mars Design for the Red Planet

Edited by Justin McGuirk, Andrew Nahum and Eleanor Watson

Getting humans to Mars has become one of the great challenges of our time. Mars holds the potential of human settlement, and the promise of life after Earth. Some of the world’s greatest entrepreneurs, architects and engineers are dedicated to conquering this next frontier. Moving to Mars: Design for the Red Planet is one of the first books to focus on the crucial role that design plays in this collective endeavour. From the capsules that will need to keep passengers in harmony during their nine-month journey, to the habitats that they will live in, to the terraforming of the landscape to make it life-sustaining, every detail needs to be designed. As well as technical and practical solutions, this book will examine how design and design thinkers are approaching our move to Mars in exciting and unexpected ways.

FEATURES A one-of-a-kind snapshot of the most exciting things happening in design today. A definitive record of the year in design, contextualised by a ‘Year in Review’ which surveys how design is tackling today’s most pressing issues. Featuring written contributions from over fifty leading voices in design. Their nominations span the fields of architecture, product, fashion, digital, transport and graphic design. Beautifully designed by celebrated graphic designer John Morgan – the third title in a redesigned series of colourful and collectible volumes.

Emily King is a London-based curator, writer and design historian.
