CONSTRUCTION

We designed a construction system out of a double-walled membrane, filled with molten, martian ice, which afterwards freezes again. The balloon-like modules are supplemented by so called „plugs“. These can vary in 4 different functions and 2 sizes.

The site plan on the right shows the rather protected situation of the building (Phase 2). It‘s covered in martian sand.

Window-Plug filled with clear ice shells (frozen slowly & controlled) medium radiation shield

Seperated Units

Units unite some of the functions, which are needed in the entire building. They can have any size and shape.
