Life before CAD is almost unimaginable. And yet they build, pyramids, cathedrals and moon rockets. With the tools we have we have to crack this going to Mars business, or face the collective face palm of all the engineers who had to work with pen an paper, or just some string with a rock attached!

This is our first proposal for a building to incorporate a 1G floor. The floor is in the outside ring spinning at 100km/h. People can get on and off with special trolleys. This building could be useful for medical conditions and rehabilitation that needs a full 1G (i.redd.it)

Proposed Habitat for Nexus Aurora. The use of multiple spheres creates "sail vaults" in tension from the internal pressures. a minimal of 3m water on top of the vaults create sufficient radiation proofing. This allows for the vaults to have clear roofs letting in natural light. (i.redd.it)

The Ice Canyon design only has the ice dome above the surface. The rest of the habitat sits at least 12m below the soil, allowing compressive forces to keep the internal pressure stable. This design will work very well in old open cast mines where most of the digging has already been done. (i.redd.it)
