The workshop aims to understand the correlation between space architecture and performative strategies regarding outer-space habitation while examining the functional needs of the habitation on Mars with real data. Firstly, a general perspective related to space architecture, including the Mars environment and performative strategies, including form and functional, structural, and environmental performances, will be discussed. Afterwards, the requirements based on the functional necessities of a Martian habitat will be examined. Then, the data transmitted via the Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS) on the Curiosity Rover will be processed. Lastly, the processed data will be correlated with the expected needs of the Mars habitat, and the outcome products will be brought together to form a Mars settlement.
This workshop is prepared for architects, designers, engineers, and anyone interested in the subject.
