An interdisciplinary team of designers and researchers are rethinking the design for initial deployment greenhouse modules for the first Martian exploration in order to test the viability of growing enough biomass to support life. Researchers wanted a new model from outside the established aerospace industry's mode of thought in order to question existing strategies for greenhouse design. The resulting schematic ideas awaiting further evaluation represent an architectural sketch for a small modular growth chamber for the surface of Mars.
