Life on Mars depicts a future where humans have successfully become cross-planetary species and have begun to inhabit Mars. In this scenario, the protective shelter is inspired by past vernacular design and future technological advancements. Technology such as large-scale 3D printing allow for complex freeform shell structures to be constructed while using locally sourced martian regolith as building materials to provide radiation protection. I used midjourney as a design tool to explore different architectural typologies through prompt crafting. Once I've arrived at a desired design language, I then iteratively regenerate the selected images to continue to refine the design. Using the same prompts as the exterior shots, I've generated additional interior views with consistent architectural language to create a cohesive narrative. To further enhance the architectural story, I believe post-processing is an essential step. I used Photoshop to add entourage, foreground and background elements to add a sense of scale and context to the visuals.
