Building buildings on Mars

Designing, building a building on Mars is not easy . Three architects Dmitry Zhuikov, Arina Ageeva and Krassimir Krastev proposed by German architectural firm ZA, buildings must be built underground and made by robots.

Robots will use very common materials on Mars as basalt, it has good electrical insulation and can also produce some types of cement needed for construction. Underground structures are the best way to fight radiation, helping people to Mars have safe, future residences.

NASA's Mars orbiter probe found in the crater near the area called Marte Vallis, which has strong basalt columns. Construction robots will be sent from the earth to this place. They will check to remove weak columns and dig into the ground like ants to create underground space, followed by building structures.

When these caves are ready for use, humans are sent, they will assemble generators, water generators and life support systems. Humans will use the robot to crush basalt rock and melt it at 1,500 degrees Celsius and then combine it with other materials to create fiberglass (similar in character to carbon fiber) to serve the next construction.

According to Gizmag magazine, scientists believe that, if water is exploited on Mars, it will also find areas suitable for agriculture. Planting plants here will help people maintain life less expensive than the entire supply from the earth.
