JURY COMMENTS
Beautiful image where Light and materials are inseparably connected. Suggestive use of shell shape to reproduce an integrated organic architecture that hides inside a new form of life.
-Antonella Marzi
Overall, I like the concept and the idea that this image creates. Maybe you can bring the depth more into the image and some parts are overexposed. The atmosphere could also be adjusted more to the Mars environment.

Picture give great aesthetic pleasure
-Antonella Marzi
The idea and the concept are top. I especially like the aesthetics and the use of materials, as it makes the most sense for a dusty planet like Mars. The atmosphere created is amazing. well done!

JURY COMMENTS
Original conceptual idea, the idea of thinking about sustainable architecture projects is very interesting
-Antonella Marzi
The scenery is great and the concept of gravity being different from Earth is very well presented. The only question is whether it is logical that the growth of plants and trees will be so simple.

JURY COMMENTS
Interesting idea even if the graphic expression should be developed further.
-Antonella Marzi
I like this image because of the eeriness, the emptiness, and the possible Martian atmosphere and scene it creates.

I like the overall composition of the image, but the materials and composition seem somehow plastic.

Good quality visual communication
-Antonella Marzi
I like the eerie look of the image. The only problem I have is that you can't provide functionality.

Good quality visual communication. The overall result is interesting
-Antonella Marzi
The setting and atmosphere are good, but the quality of the materials could have been better.

The overall result is interesting
-Antonella Marzi
I like the idea of using a crater as a building base by filling it up. I must say that the atmosphere lacks a bit of care and the use of materials could have been done better. And I don't know if traditional roads make that much sense on Mars.

The overall result is interesting
-Antonella Marzi
the rendering feels a little too empty. Material application is not well made, feels like plastic. Atmosphere and landscape is also lacking a bit of care.

The design and concept are nice, but the placement in the environment is poorly done. Could have done a much better job with shading and placement.
