Marsiana is a space technology laboratory focused on enhancing habitability in Earth’s extreme environments. Inspired by space exploration, it adapts off-world research into practical solutions for deserts, polar regions, and remote territories, developing resilient habitats, materials, and systems that support sustainable human presence under extreme conditions.
An interdisciplinary workshop exploring how Earth’s extreme environments inform Mars habitat design, combining material experimentation, parametric modeling, systems thinking, and industry collaboration to produce prototypes, research insights, and public-facing outcomes.
Is an architect, researcher, and educator focused on sustainable architecture and regenerative design; founder of Raíz Arquitectura, teaching at Universidad Iberoamericana, active across Mexico and Latin America.
Is architect at Axiom Space, collaborating with NASA on orbital habitats, Mars research, and extreme environments, with experience at Perkins Eastman and studies at Georgia Tech currently.
Arizona State University’s The Design School organizes this workshop to connect cutting-edge research with practice, exposing students to global experts advancing sustainable, extreme-environment design through interdisciplinary collaboration and real-world impact.
