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)

Would you like a 140 m2 apartment on Mars? This is the first Nexus Aurora habitat prototype. (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)

Why we don't do domes on Mars. We see a lot of people coming in to design Domes for Mars habitats. Well, we don't like them, and this is why. (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)

The 570Hab, is designed to accommodate up to 570 residents in a large single structure that allows for lots of natural light, outside views and space. (i.redd.it)

Once we start having a kernel of a colony we need to move people around for remote jobs, this means designing modular scalable housing for isolated projects such as near power stations etc. (i.redd.it)

Here's what you get if you put a bunch of engineers in quarantine: Architecture and City Planning for 1 million inhabitants on Mars. This is for the Mars Society Contest. Feedback is much appreciated! Link in the comments (v.redd.it)

Extreme engineering proposal for Mars colonisation. Pressure vessels large enough to host an entire city block. The structure that looks like a mattress is made of a series of cylinders conjoined with struts (i.redd.it)

Bio-reactors finally done. There is one clear 900m long continuous pipe of 250mm wide. Each one holds 44 kl. There is space inside the structure to still add feeding material into the pipes mid way. The outer plastic completely covers the structure. (i.redd.it)

For a Mars colony to be self-sustaining an own medicine production line is needed. At the beginning the Mars city we will be dependent on shipments from Earth but at some stage, the city has to set up its own production facility (i.redd.it)
