Since last century’s influx of emigrants to our planetary neighbor, the Martian colony has dealt with an increased burden on public resources, including that most basic resource—potable water. We may never know what first drove colonists to dig for water underground. Perhaps they noticed wet soil in the first subterranean Martian cites, or perhaps they were inspired by the archaeological finds below old Siena. For whatever reason, Mars now boasts of water supply system that is both brilliantly engineered and surprisingly simple.
A Survey of the Martian Water Supply System imagines the aquatic engineering of a hypothetical colony on Mars. Human problems are repetitive through history, and in this project so are their solutions. Using a collage-centric approach and the visual language of 20th century Sci-Fi, A Survey of the Martian Water Supply System explores the subterranean Martian aqueducts that should be familiar to any resident of Siena. The project exists as a didactic chart and peripheral drawings.
