The previous chapter provided an overview of the residential, commercial, and industrial dimensions of planning a city on Mars. Here, I offer a closer view of the buildings themselves. What kinds of structures are built in Earth’s most inhospitable environments? And what about space architecture itself? What has our experience designing and building habitats for people beyond Earth taught us about Martian building science, design, and engineering? While outer space habitats have been limited, people have experimented extensively with constructing analogs on Earth. What can we learn from that research?
