Arts
Stepping carefully up to the crater’s edge, white boots kicking up swirls of red dust, the figure lowers themselves carefully down to sit on an ancient boulder - and pulls out an A3 sketchpad. The stranger surveys the Martian landscape, interrogates the form and flowing expanse in front of them and starts to piece together a narrative created over millions of years. They fill their empty page with sketches telling the story of the planet and its potential for life. They are….what, exactly? A scientist? An artist? Or both? In this episode of Hassell Talks, we examine the necessity of blurred boundaries between science and architecture, if humans are to successfully live on the Red Planet.
