The Adler Planetarium: Mars Exploration Station, Chicago
As part of the national Mars Millennium Project, the Adler Planetarium developed the Mars Exploration Station Exhibit to help visitors imagine life on Mars.

DLK developed an architectural representation of what a settlement on Mars might be like, and created four graphic panels that were  included in the exhibit. The design emerged from several discussions with representatives of the Adler and from brainstorming sessions within DLK. Our designers discussed what it would take to establish a viable community on Mars, and what sort of structure would withstand the planet’s physical conditions. An important consideration in the design was the age of the visitors, mostly junior high school children.
