Adaptis VerΔ
IED Barcelona – Student: Lana Mutaz
Academic year
2024/2025
A modular system of pill-shaped capsules designed to facilitate the daily lives of astronauts and researchers during their missions to Mars, coexisting in space with plants and organic systems. It includes units for exhibition, agriculture, biotechnology, materials development, and sleep.
The thesis investigates the Martian environment and its implications for biological systems, focusing particularly on DNA and RNA mutations in plants and microorganisms.
Through the choice of materials, spatial logic, modularity and atmosphere, the interiors of ‘Adaptis VerΔ’ are not passive agents, but rather active participants in the process of mutation and adaptation.
Project by the MarsLife thesis laboratory, in collaboration with IED Rome, the Italian Space Agency (ASI), and Caimi
