Call for Ideas: Marschitect 2018 Architecture Competition

Description

The last few centuries have seen our Mother Earth grappling with mounting pressure towards her resources due to mankind’s quest for a better life.

This persistent pressure has now compounded into unpredictable and irrevocable changes in our climatic conditions and atmosphere. To relieve this mounting weight, we have been taking huge strides in our efforts to find resourses on other planets like Mars for a clean and sustainable future. The previous decade has witnessed MARS as the centre of attention for becoming a potential new habitat for the earth’s future population, resulting in a Martian race.

With many visionary organizations and their ground-breaking explorative studies and research, the unseen future of inhabiting the Red Planet is now a real possibility; an opportunity to create a utopian tomorrow, making mankind a multi-planetary species

We invite architects, designers, students, teachers, engineers, artists, visionaries, and everyone who believe in this unseen future and a possibility of utopian future.

The participants are to create a self-sustaining living space for the initial habitants, a group of five researchers, of the Red Planet.

These researchers are to further study and explore Mars to understand its resources for inhabitation and other human necessities. The 5 researchers have been carefully selected to understand various parameters to validate the idea for the existence of life on Mars. The participants are to design functional, sustainable spaces that cater to the needs of these five researchers.
