We landed on the Moon a little less than fifty years ago, and human beings will potentially colonize a second planet in near future. The most possible option is Mars. NASA and some private organizations are presently planning to send human missions to Mars within 2030s. Rather than just setting down a simple footprint, however, this will be a more advanced step: the establishment of a successful and durable habitat on the Martian surface. Humankind has an enduring history of survival and adaptation. Considering the advancements made via science and engineering technology, experts already believe that survival on a distant planet is possible – even within a hostile environment such as Mars. Yet, survival is not enough to declare a habitat as successful one. Especially on Mars, it is difficult to ensure a healthy environment for both physiological and psychological conditions within a confined habitat. Perhaps, the most arduous challenge will be to create (or recreate) the feeling of a „Home‟ where our human crews will not just survive but will in fact thrive! This paper explores an overall portrayal of the extreme environmental conditions of Mars and the obstacles to be faced by those first human crews. Finally, through the case studies and their cross analysis, this research will reveal the plausible solutions for the most challenging problem regarding the first Martian habitat : How architecture can construct a viable and sustainable shelter for an extremely hostile environment and simultaneously, establish a new identity for the „Universal Home‟ on another planet.

From arid deserts to icy poles, outer space to the depths of the sea, this exciting new work studies the remarkable life forms that have made these inhospitable environments their home. Covering not only micro-organisms, but also higher plants and animals such as worms, fish and polar plants, this book details the ecological, biological and biogeochemical challenges these organisms face and unifying themes between environments. Equally useful for the expert, student and casual scientific reader, this book also explores the impact of climate change, rapid seasonal changes and pollution on these extraordinary creatures.

This thesis is concerned with the creation of systems that respond to selective environmental conditions in extreme environments resulting in varying levels of habitation. The development of these morphogenetic landscapes was arrived at through two parts. The first was a rigorous analysis of the role that biology, ecology, genetics and evolutionary development play in current architectural discourse. The second part consisted of discarding this current trend and developing a new methodology that instead of taking architecture as a given and applying a biological thread, attempted to work within current biological research and find the architectural thread. This methodology begins with a fundamental shift in the perception of the relationship between organism and environment. In traditional Darwinian evolution, the environment presents problems and the organism attempts to answer them by adaptation. However, the organism is no longer thought to be a simple set of closed physiological systems that simply buffer the external environment to maintain life and thus maximize the chance at reproduction. Rather, the organism and it's constructed environment form an immediate and co-evolutionary continuum that is based on fluctuating, but specific, information flows. This phenomenon is best exhibited in extreme habitats where a few harsh climactic parameters take precedence. In such situations, many phylogenetically diverse species utilize the same climate conditions which make the entire ecosystem interdependent on many scales. One example of such a habitat is the Namib Desert in southwest Africa. It is not only one of the hottest and driest places or Earth, it is also the geologically oldest desert in the world at 55 million years. These parameters converge to create one of the most evolutionary excited environments in the world. Thus, the goal is to develop an architecture within this specific continuum of environmental flows that could foster scientific study in the relation between organism and its effective environment. The environmenta parameters consist of extreme heat, high wind levels and the Namib's unique moisture rich fog. Through this biological and ecological analysis, the thesis became the creation of an architectural organism that selectively utilizes natural parameters to construct its own environmental continuum. Thus, the intervention was conceived as fostering no supporting [human] habitation while at the same time creating multiple microhabitats by its very existence. It is simultaneously a vehicle for study and an object of study.

The range of environments in which people can survive is extensive, yet most of the natural world cannot support human life. The Biology of Human Survival identifies the key determinants of life or death in extreme environments from a physiologist's perspective, integrating modern concepts of stress, tolerance, and adaptation into explanations of life under Nature's most austere conditions. The book examines how individuals survive when faced with extremes of immersion, heat, cold or altitude, emphasizing the body's recognition of stress and the brain's role in optimizing physiological function in order to provide time to escape or to adapt. In illustrating how human biology adapts to extremes, the book also explains how we learn to cope by blending behavior and biology, first by trial and error, then by rigorous scientific obsrvation, and finally by technological innovation. The book describes life-supprt technology and how it enables humans to enter once unendurable realms from the depths of the ocean to the upper reaches of the atmosphere and beyond. Finally, it explores the role that advanced technology might play in special enviornments of the future, now in long journeys into space.
