Hugh Broughton Architects and Pearce+ are creating Martian House, an inflatable building in Bristol, England, that will explore what an extraterrestrial house for life on Mars could look like.
The house, a collaboration with local artists as part of the ongoing art project Building a Martian House, is set over two levels, with the lower level designed to be built below the ground of the red planet.
The upper level will be made from a gold inflatable formwork, which is being developed by specialists Inflate.
休·布勞頓建築師事務所（Hugh Broughton Architects）和皮爾斯+（Pearce +）正在英格蘭布里斯托爾建造一座充氣建築火星人之家，它將探索火星上生活的外星人房屋的外觀。
這座房子與當地藝術家合作，是正在進行的藝術項目“建造火星房子”的一部分，分為兩層，較低的層被設計為在紅色星球的地下建造。
上層將由Inflate專家開發的可充氣金模製成。
On Mars it would be filled with regolith – Martian soil and rock – to reduce “cosmic and galactic radiation” although the team will have to settle for more terrestrial materials in Bristol.
“Inflate are still developing the designs, but it will likely be a ripstop nylon fabric with a gold coating externally,” architects Hugh Broughton and Owen Pearce told Dezeen.
“The gold is important for dissipating heat into the thinner atmosphere on Mars. For future use on Mars, a new polymer might need to be developed that is light enough to be transported to the red planet.”
“The regolith within is set using biological solidification – the regolith becomes bonded using microbes and forms essentially Martian concrete. The inflatable formwork remains as a seal and final surface.”
在火星上，火星的土壤和岩石將被重熔岩填充，以減少“宇宙和銀河輻射”，儘管該團隊將不得不在布里斯托爾定居，以獲取更多的地面物質。
建築師休·布勞頓（Hugh Broughton）和歐文·皮爾斯（Owen Pearce）對Dezeen表示：“ Inflate仍在開發設計，但它可能是外部帶有金色塗層的防裂尼龍面料。”
“金對於將熱量散發到火星稀薄的大氣中非常重要。為了將來在火星上使用，可能需要開發一種新的聚合物，這種聚合物要輕到足以傳輸到紅色星球上。”
“內部的灰泥是通過生物固化來凝固的-灰泥被微生物粘結並形成了火星混凝土。可充氣的模板仍然是密封件和最終表面。”
Although it will be displayed above ground, Martian House’s lower level will be designed to be fully buried to maximise protection, and would likely be made of reused rocket components.
“On Mars, it would occupy one of the maze of lava tubes which run beneath the Martian surface,” the architects explained.
“The life support systems would be reused from spacecraft manufactured on Earth to ensure quality control.”
Inside, the architects envisioned the house would feature a hydroponic living room filled with decorative plants that could feed into a circular wastewater system that is currently being developed with Hydrock.
儘管將其顯示在地面上，但火星大廈的下層將被設計為完全掩埋以最大化保護，並可能由重複使用的火箭部件製成。
建築師解釋說：“在火星上，它將佔據在火星表面下延伸的熔岩管的迷宮之一。”
“生命支持系統將從地球上製造的航天器中重複使用，以確保質量控制。”
在內部，建築師設想這所房子將設有一個水培客廳，裡面裝有裝飾性植物，可將其註入目前與Hydrock合作開發的循環廢水系統中。
Hugh Broughton Architects is used to creating designs for challenging environments, as it has previously worked on projects including a research station in Antarctica, and both it and Pearce+ have experience of designing for space.
“Whether working on these extraterrestrial projects or in the polar regions, there are are many similarities in approach,” said the designers.
“We need to make ergonomic space in the least volume possible; minimise the impact on the environment through the application of technology to reduce waste, energy consumption and water demand; protect the crew from the hostile external environment, whether that’s wind-driven ice or solar radiation, and consider the well-being of the crew, isolated from home for many months, even years, at a time,” they added.
Hugh Broughton Architects習慣於為具有挑戰性的環境創建設計，因為該公司以前曾參與過包括南極洲一個研究站在內的項目，並且它和Pearce +都具有太空設計的經驗。
設計師說：“無論是在這些外星項目上還是在極地地區開展工作，方法上都有很多相似之處。”
“我們需要使人體工程學空間盡可能地小；通過應用減少廢物，能源消耗和水的技術應用，將對環境的影響最小化；保護機組人員免受惡劣的外部環境的影響，無論是風驅冰還是 太陽輻射，並考慮到船員的健康，他們一次與家隔離了數月甚至數年，”他們補充說。
Martian House, which will be installed in Bristol for five months in 2022, was conceived by local artists Ella Good and Nicki Kent.
They have brought together experts, including scientists and engineers, as well as the general public to create new visions for life on Earth and on Mars.
IKEA also looked at living conditions on Mars when it redesigned the living pod on the Mars Desert Research Station in Utah, US, while BIG is working with NASA to develop 3D-printed buildings for the moon.
Martian House will be on show outside the M Shed museum in Bristol from April 2022 to August 2022. See Dezeen Events Guide for an up-to-date list of architecture and design events taking place around the world.
火星人之家將由當地藝術家Ella Good和Nicki Kent構思，將於2022年在布里斯托爾安裝五個月。
他們召集了包括科學家和工程師在內的專家以及廣大公眾，共同為地球和火星上的生命創造新的願景。
宜家在重新設計美國猶他州火星沙漠研究站上的生活艙時，也考慮了火星上的生活條件，而BIG正在與NASA合作開發3D打印的月球建築。
2022年4月至2022年8月，火星人之家將在布里斯托爾的M Shed博物館外展出。有關全球範圍內發生的最新建築和設計活動的清單，請參閱Dezeen活動指南。
