Marsboreal Greenhouse
With the consistent degradation of our existing natural environment, there comes a rising demand for designs that speak to minimizing material and energy consumption, while maintaining a higher quality of life. Space and the nature of its environment provide an opportunity for us to critically evaluate living outside the scope of abundant resource availability.
Our proposed design for a Marsboreal Greenhouse elicits qualities that not only derive from approaching habitat design for Mars or other planetary bodies, but also from a desire to place new perspective on sustainable living here on Earth.
