Additionally, he started preparing the file for the perspective section cut details in Rhino and later more details in Indesign to showcase the roof detailing. Abhishek also researched Revit ‘Model in Place’ tutorial videos. As we’re bringing together people who want to make a difference, the Earthbag Village will be the first village we construct. See the collage below for an idea of his work on the 4 Dome Structure.
Charles Gooley (Web Designer) focused on augmenting the Open Source DIY Earth Dam and construction for the Water Retention, Pond, and Lake Creation page’s Earth Dam Disaster Risk Mitigation section. The tasks undertaken encompassed exploring the ramifications of dam failure, adherence to dam safety guidelines, and implementing inspection procedures. The examination of dam issues, causes, consequences, and recommended actions was presented in a structured format, including a table with resized images illustrating various problems, corresponding causes, potential consequences, and suggested actions. Additional enhancements extended to sections covering dam break risk assessment, risk evaluation, and overall dam risk assessment. Substantial updates were made to the Resources section and the two Tables of Contents. As we’re bringing together people who want to make a difference, earthworks like this will be a big part of the sustainability infrastructure we open source. The images below show some of his work on the DIY Earth Dam.

This week, Amiti Singh (Architectural Designer) advanced the design process for Room 7 in Duplicable City Center. She began creating a 3D model for the room, with a specific focus on a futuristic art deco theme, blending art deco furniture with futuristic lighting to construct a vibrant color palette. Beginning the design process with visual inspirations, she established the initial material, color, texture, and lighting palette for the room. Concurrently, Amiti revisited file finalization for prior room design projects within Duplicable City Center, implementing suggested modifications. As we’re bringing together people who want to make a difference, the Duplicable City Center will be the first community structure we construct. The college below shows her renderings for Room 7.
Julio Marín Bustillos (Mechanical Engineer) completed the design work for the first and second variations of City Center hub connector for the fifth row, subsequently integrating them along the entirety of the row for complete coverage. Two variations remain pending for the fifth row, prompting Julio to initiate the design process for the third variation. This approach aligns with the project’s commitment to precision and adherence to design specifications for optimal structural integrity. As we’re bringing together people who want to make a difference, the Duplicable City Center will be the first community structure we construct. Check out the collage below for an idea of Julio’s work on the hub connectors.
Justin Varghese (Mechanical Engineer) focused on assembling bolts and nuts for both the (wooden beam+plate) and (plate+ring) components of the City Center Hub Connector. Particular attention was given to ensuring the absence of interference between the threads and corners during assembly. The assembled configuration will be used in the finite element analysis (FEA) simulation, where the connector’s performance will be evaluated to facilitate the selection of the final hub connector design. As we’re bringing together people who want to make a difference, the Duplicable City Center will be the first community structure we construct. The collage below shows his work on the hub connectors.
Yiwei He (Mechanical Engineer) began work on her teammates’ new Duplicable City Center design to generate the simulation model in preparation for tomorrow’s group meeting. In addition, she had follow-up discussions with Chris to ensure readiness for the Vermiculture Toilet system’s calculation. Simultaneously, Yiwei worked on hiring a new contributor for the project, overseeing the necessary steps in facilitating the onboarding process. As we’re bringing together people who want to make a difference, the Duplicable City Center will be the first community structure we construct. Yiwei’s work on the Duplicable City Center is shown in the collage below.
