— Robots will first dig a perimeter allowing the first level of the building to be below ground.

— Robots will increase the rate of construction and reduce the amount of human labor.

— Then they will construct buffer buildings for future additional domes that may be added later.

— Interconnected spaces are created.

— The pressurized dome creates the basic environment necessary for people to work, allowing the rest of the construction process to be done safer and faster.

— The protection layering and integration with plant life above the 3D-printed nodules will ensure a safe and pleasant environment that can be experienced at different scales.

"When you begin to inhabit a world that has no existing eco-system, environmentalism takes on a whole new meaning. The challenge is not to preserve the existing environment, but rather to design and engineer a whole new man-made ecosystem, making us take the step up from custodians to creators of our own little Martian circle of life."Bjarke Ingels - Founder and Creative Director, BIG
