A full-scale house designed for future life on Mars is being built at Wapping Wharf in Bristol Harbourside. Part of ongoing public art project, Building a Martian House is being created in the square next to M Shed.
Originally conceived by local artists and Watershed Pervasive Media Studio residents Ella Good and Nicki Kent, the project has so far brought together space scientists, architects, engineers, designers and the public to explore how we live today and stimulate visions for new ways of living here on Earth and on Mars.
The house will open from August 17 with a three-month programme of workshops, talks and events for all ages. Ahead of that date the artists are inviting the people of Bristol to get involved and help co-design the interior.
