摘要

摘要近年来,公众和国家对太空探索重新产生了兴趣,加上火箭科学和建筑系统的技术进步,使火星生活的设计和工程举措变得切实而紧迫。本文追溯了火星上一个住宅乌托邦式建筑设计的实践。这所房子被其建筑师描述为“人们的地方”和“全人类的地方”传统上,地球外栖息地的设计强调了在极端环境中生存的功能。火星的新设计旨在建造以人类为中心的家园,让人们在其中感到舒适。然而,当面对已知的火星景观现实时,这种设计会重新配置人类的位置和形态。火星景观要求一个住宅通过总的闭环建筑系统来保护人体免受敌对因素的影响。在这种极端的建筑中,人体被配置为一个可计算的身体,并被“抹去”这篇文章从人种学的角度追溯了人类在这种设计实践中是如何被想象的,并询问当建筑师遇到太空科学家时,通过知情的设计思维,人类的想法会发生什么。它追溯了建立一个“全人类”空间的乌托邦动机是如何通过做出设计选择和排除的物质和实践现实而受到挑战的。人种学遵循了人类的形象,因为它被想象为一种新兴的火星生命形式,面临着火星上生命所带来的不同重力、光线、辐射和地形的问题。考虑到“生活”的概念在未来的火星栖息地是如何可能的,需要想象完全不同的生命形式。通过追踪这些是如何被想象、争论和考虑的,本文询问了概念化激进交替的实践如何与理解自己与作为人类的持久理念联系在一起。

Making A Martian Home: Finding Humans On Mars Through Utopian Architecture
Abstract A renewed public and state interest in space exploration in recent years, coupled with technological advancements in rocket science and architectural systems, has made design and engineering initiatives for Martian living tangible and urgent. This article traces the practice of utopian architectural design of a home on Mars. This home has been described by its architects as a ‘place for people’ and for ‘all of humanity.’ Off-Earth habitats have traditionally been designed with emphasis on the functionality of surviving extreme environments. New designs for Mars aim to make human-centric homes in which people can be comfortable. However, when confronted with the known realities of the Martian landscape, such designs reconfigure the place and form of the human. The Martian landscape requires that a home shelters the human body from hostile elements through totalising closed loop architectural systems. In such extreme architecture, the human form is configured as a calculable body, and becomes ‘erased.’ This article ethnographically traces how the human is imagined in such design practice and asks what happens to the idea of the human through informed design thinking as architects meet space scientists. It traces how utopic motivations to build a space ‘for all humanity’ are challenged through the material and practical reality of making design choices and exclusions. The ethnography follows the figure of the human as it is imagined as an emergent Martian lifeform which confronts the problems of the different gravity, light, radiation, and terrain that a life on mars would entail. Considering how the concept of ‘living’ might be possible in a future Martian habitat involves the practice of imagining radically alternative forms of life. By tracing how these are imagined, contested, and considered this article asks how practices of conceptualising radical alterity relate to understanding oneself as connected to the enduring idea of being human.
