Exploring architecture in space
Human settlement on Mars was once a farfetched idea. But with the use of robotic construction and deployment, the plan for habitable bases on other planets have become reality. As part of NASA’s Mars 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge, igloo-like translucent and fiber-reinforced ice house structures printed by autonomous ice bots were conceived as livable bases for astronauts to inhabit when they arrive. While life on Mars is still far from reality, the design and construction methods used for projects like the Mars Ice House might be adapted for use in resource-poor areas of this planet, serving communities both near and far.
