In 2015, The Martian envisioned the hardships of life on Mars. Since NASA unveiled their plans to send a human mission to the red planet by the 2030s, architects around the world have started to envision possible habitats for humans.
These include Martian-concrete and 3D-printed housing, forest domes, and underground structures.
