Martian architecture
Martian architecture covers the design of buildings for the Martian environment. It's constraints are similar to architecture on Earth, but it has to add the functions of atmospheric pressure and life support to architectural systems. There is also a requirement for radiation protection that is practically no existent on Earth. Gravity is significantly lower as is wind pressure. As the Martian surface is non livable, architecture will usually be seen from the inside
Form : List of architectural concepts, List of construction materials
