Habitat project, contained in geodesic structure, prepared to contain physical conditions suitable for life on Earth. A phase-organized project to explore new life habits. The next utopia starts with concrete 3D print, innovative materials and in-situ resources, intended to compensate some physical difficulties of the planet.

Our closest planet with reasonable conditions is Mars, it takes around 7 months to get there and we have already explored it with landers and robots. There is proven ice in the ground and our technology starts to be sufficient to get there.\nThe colonization of the planet needs to be organized by steps. First, authomatic robots will build underground 3d printed structures from the sulfure of the ground and exported carbon fiber. The curved stuctural shape is determined by the different structural efforts to be supported, such as the pressure gradient from interior to exterior (due to the quantity of oxygen that we humans neeed to live) and the own mars gravity.\nOnce the first modulus is operative, the expansion will continue underground creating pressure-hermetical chambers, until the first arrival tripulation arrives to build up the third phase: the container. This one, will isolate from the cosmic radiation; A huge double-layered geodesic structure containing dynamical water, that will disipate the energy of the alpha radiation particles with the hidrogen contained on it.\nThe final phase is the vertical growing until the container limits, above the ground. Diaphanous platforms grown above organic supports will allow a new beggining in the way of living. No longer there will be needed partitions, atleast as a staring point. The same with clothes or any prejudice brought from earth.
