With the impending colonization of MARS the human race is on the precipice of becoming a multi-planetary species. Who will decide what the future habitats and cities will look like, and how they will function spatially? The global space industry is one dominated by Scientists and Engineers. At this critical point in time, will it be left to these professions to determine the interior environments of these future Martian cities, those that will envelope colonists for extended periods of time? This article attempts to explore the relevancy of the role of Architects and Interior Designers in the conception and development of future Martian cities, and how those that are trained to understand the importance of form, light, space and materiality are imperative to the success of a future Martian population.
