Mars Architecture
MARS ARCHITECTURE WORKSHOP on THE PAACADEMY || Tutors: Arch. Eng. Valentina Sumini & Ph.D. and Arch. Marta Rossi || The workshop explored the potential applications of computational design in space architecture. The central objective of the workshop was to develop a robust and sustainable infrastructure capable of supporting human missions to Mars in the long term. The workshop examined various strategies and methodologies for achieving this goal, focusing on resilience and adaptability in the face of the unique challenges the Martian environment poses. Overall, the workshop was a valuable opportunity for students to exchange ideas and collaborate on innovative solutions for the future of space exploration.
To effectively address the most recent design challenge, it was imperative to adopt a comprehensive approach incorporating computational design as a crucial component. Space Architecture is founded upon a complex network of interrelated elements, including space science, engineering, industrial design, ergonomics, medicine, psychology, and art. These essential foundations must be carefully considered and integrated to achieve successful outcomes.
We were required to conduct several simulations using the AMEBA plugin in order to enhance the effectiveness of the external protective shield against radiation and sandstorms.
TOOLS: Maya, Rhino, Grasshopper , AMEBA plugin.
TEAM: Simina-Ioana Dimcea, Assem Attia.
