Transforming the exotic environment of the Red Planet demands talented technologists, scientists, and architects.
Enter the Mars City Design group, bridging the gap between leading educators, scientists and engineers, with a splash of artistic vocations within entertainment, media and other professions.
Project exhibition
Last month, winners of Mars City Design Challenges 2017 celebrated their victories in a gala held in Los Angeles, California.

Human destiny
Mars City Design is the brainchild of Vera Mulyani, a passionate visionary keen on becoming an architect of Mars. Founded in Silicon Beach, Los Angeles, California, Mars City Design is dedicated to making Mars the second home for humans.
“Survivability is no longer enough,” Mulyani explains. “If the human destiny is to become ‘a multi-planetary species’ and the technology is making it possible, it becomes urgent to responsibly design the destinations that are out of this world, sustainable and contributive to the present Earth,” she believes.

Development stage
From the winning projects, Mars City Design brought some of the concepts forward to continue into the next development stage.
Mars City Design has launched a new competition for 2018, and this year’s goal is to focus on the second stage of some selected projects and to promote some of the selected teams to participate in a JPL/NASA Program in January 2018.
