OPEN Architecture与中国电子巨头小米合作，在China House Vision 2018上推出了最小的住宅原型MARS Case。该设计案例位于北京鸟巢国家体育场外年度跨行业创新和研究平台House Vision单元，以“房子”为媒介，探索和质疑我们未来生活习惯和城市环境的走向。
通过 MARS Case，OPEN Architecture挑战了生活空间的惯例，并为未来提出了新的可能性。原型设想人类被迫在火星上定居，在不依赖自然资源的情况下，居民需要减少消费并只携带最少的必需品。循环再利用成为一种生存手段。MARS Case设想了这种将技术、产品设计和建筑无缝结合的理想住宅。小米目前的产品线中的家电都可以无线连接，通过智能手机进行控制。 MARS Case 更进一步，将这些独立的电子设备集成到一个综合产品The Home中。
MARS Case是一个自循环能源和零浪费的地方。在利用和回收每个电子设备产生的热量、废气、冷凝水和其他副产品的过程中，房子将能源、空气、水和空气送回一个综合生态系统，最大限度地减少资源消耗。一个轻巧、紧凑的 2.4 米 x 2.4 米 x 2 米模块，就像一个手提箱一样，所有房屋的服务组件和充盈的生活空间都可以折叠和存放，以便于运输。作为一个适合地球上任何地方所有用户的生活需求和环境的工业产品，最重要的是，这是一个探索未来无限可能性的理想住宅。
OPEN Architecture in collaboration with Chinese electronics giant Xiaomi have unveiled the minimal housing prototype MARS Case at China House Vision 2018. Located outside the Bird’s Nest National Stadium in Beijing, the design is part of an annual cross-industry innovation and research platform known as House Vision, which uses the medium of the “house” to explore and question the direction of our living habits and urban environments in the future.
With MARS Case, OPEN Architecture challenges conventions of living space and proposes new possibilities for the future. The prototype imagines that humanity is forced to settle on Mars. Without reliance on natural resources, inhabitants instead would need to reduce consumption and carry only minimal essentials. Recycling becomes a means of surviving. MARS Case envisions this ideal house, which seamlessly combines technology, product design, and architecture. Domestic appliances in Xiaomi’s current product lines can all be connected wirelessly and controlled over smart phones. MARS Case goes a step further to integrate these separate electronic appliances into one synthesized product, The Home.
MARS Case was made as a place of self-circulating energy and zero waste. In harnessing and recycling the heat, exhaust, condensation, and other byproducts generated by each electronic device within it, the house feeds energy, air, and water and air back into an integrated ecosystem, minimizing consumption of resources. A lightweight, compact 2.4 meter x 2.4 meter x 2 meter module, within which—like a suitcase—all the house’s service components and inflatable living spaces can be folded and stored for easy transportation. An industrial product suited for the living needs and environments of all users, everywhere on earth. And above all, an ideal house with which to explore the boundless possibilities of the future.
