This book combines Construction 6.0 with AEC principles for designing sustainable, health-focused Martian habitats. It unveils innovative architectural designs ideal for Mars, utilizing 3D printing, autonomous robotics, and regolith, alongside renewable energy and life support systems. With an emphasis on well-being, it integrates biophilic design and digital technologies to enhance operational efficiency. Exploring various habitat models, it advocates a multidisciplinary approach to extraterrestrial colonization that balances technological advancement with environmental and ethical stewardship, aiming to make human life on Mars a healthy and sustainable reality.

Placing vernacular knowledge at the forefront of climate-responsive design, this book deals with the UN’s SDG 11 mandate for inclusive, safe, and resilient cities. The volume also reviews how millennia-old building traditions can decarbonise construction and fortify communities against escalating climate risks. Comprising case studies, and pertinent infographics, it equips practitioners, educators, and decision-makers with the scientific rigour and persuasive language necessary to leverage vernacular intelligence for decarbonisation, equity, and cultural continuity. It is simultaneously an academic contribution, a design manual, and an urgent rallying cry for a planet-positive built environment.

Biophilic and Bioclimatic Architecture is a guide to innovative architectural design for architects, engineers and other specialists who are working with biophilic and bioclimatic architectural concepts.Biophilic and Bioclimatic Architecture has three parts: • Part I focuses on the relationship between architecture and human needs and the creation process, demonstrating the meaning of architectural value in architectural hypothesis. • Part II opens the way towards a new understanding of biophilic architecture as a response to the negative actions of humans and the negative effects of using natural resources. • Part III shows the benefits of combining the effects of the climate with the notion of human comfort in bioclimatic architecture.
