Presentation

This project explores the design of a city on Mars, named Nüwa, which is inspired by environmental challenges and technologies. By integrating adapted sustainable design elements, this city aims to create a viable habitat for future Martian colonists.

Nüwa is a Martian city built on principles of sustainability and recycling, using ecological materials and innovative plant transport systems.

Why the name Nuwa?

Who is Nüwa?
Nuwa (simplified Chinese: 女娲; traditional Chinese: 女媧; pinyin: nǚwā, also transcribed as Nügua) is an emblematic figure of Chinese mythology whose origin dates back to Antiquity. A creative goddess, she fashioned the first humans from clay, gave them the power to procreate, and repaired the broken sky. She is often attributed with a serpent body. She forms a couple with her brother Fuxi. From the Tang dynasty onwards, they are presented as the inventors of marriage rites, of which she is the patron. She is also a giver of children.

Nüwa

Like all figures of ancient mythology, she is known through fairly late texts (Han dynasty and perhaps the end of the Warring States), so her exact nature and origin are difficult to determine. She is one of the Three Sovereigns. She has remained in Chinese religion only as a minor deity. The Miao of southwestern China also worship her. She is credited with inventing the se (瑟), a kind of zither.
