We go beyond the current exploration of space to unveil the first potential settlement on Mars. We chat with Alfredo Munoz, architect and owner of ABIBOO studio, and Miquel Sureda, Master Coordinator of the Space and Aeronautical Engineering program at Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya. Alfredo, Miquel, and their team of scientists have brought their creative dream into reality by proposing a vertical city that is innovative, inclusive, and will be stunning to look at. We discuss the newest technologies that will be implemented and the challenges that citizens will face to survive. You'll also hear their thoughts on why pioneering a new planet is both relevant and inspirational to our design initiatives on Earth. And, we are introducing our first ever "docu-drama-pod"! Get ready to be immersed into the future through the eyes of an aerospace architect travelling to Mars for the first time. Now, back to how this relates to us Earthlings…as designers, we encounter challenges and limitations on virtually every project. What if I told you that those constraints actually create opportunities to unlock some of the greatest solutions? And, that self-imposing those restrictions could leverage our imaginations in ways we never thought possible! Now, that’s outta this world.
