Good design isn’t just about how a building or place looks, it’s also about how it works and feels. When a project is completed, how do the people who commissioned it to feel when they are in it? How do those who live in the building enjoy it? What if the project was a concept for life on Mars?

International design practice HASSELL took their award-winning expertise into space as one of ten finalists competing in NASA’s 3D Printing Centennial Challenge. The NASA competition sought perspectives beyond the traditional aerospace industry to explore how a human habitat could be designed and delivered on Mars using current 3D print and design technologies.
