Abstract
In the near future of the 2020s, the Space Age is approaching and humanity is making the necessary preparations for space exploration. ‘The Martian Manifesto’ seeks to propose new living standards for permanent residency on Mars and the role of architects in the upcoming Space Age. To colonise Mars, a biological approach could be taken where the ‘seeds’ of plants, humans and materials could be cultivated for a sustainable colonisation. Habitats will be grown from bacteria-infused regolith to adapt to different conditions on Mars.
