- Learn about: Our Upcoming Crowdfunding Campaign
- Learn about the different village models that are foundation of these holistic human support webs: 7 Sustainable Village Models
- Visit the open source portals for the first two of these holistic human support webs: Earthbag Village OS Hub | Straw Bale Village OS Hub
This week, Joseph Osayande (Mechanical Engineer) continued helping finish the Vermiculture Toilet designs. The standing system assembly was developed further with the connector channel. Unistruts with brackets were added, and bolts were distributed along the strut to ensure balance and manage the weight effectively throughout the structure. Two separate designs were created, and a decision will be made next week on which design has the most potential. Selecting the right model is imperative for the project’s success. The vermiculture toilets and other sustainable human waste processing technologies form the basis of One Community’s open source model for holistic human support webs. See below for some of the pictures related to this work.
Rizwan Syed (Mechanical Engineer) also continued helping finish the Vermiculture Toilet designs. This week, Rizwan summarized the team’s design and stress analysis activities from the past three months to update the vermiculture eco-toilet design content on One Community’s website. Rizwan updated design criteria and metal frame engineering sections, incorporating the latest calculations. He researched unistrut wing connectors for pillar support and created custom 3D models in SOLIDWORKS to check assembly fit. He also verified hand calculations for the removable drawer with the engineering team. These efforts support One Community’s open-source sustainable waste processing model. Here are a few photos showing examples of his work.
Yagyansh Maheshwari (Mechanical Engineer) started his work with Earthbag Village designs. This week, Yagyansh searched for options of wheels that can be used in the drawer and finalized a few options after reviewing their specifications. He also reviewed the mechanism for disposing of compost on the ground, ensuring that the selected wheels and mechanism meet the necessary requirements for effective operation. The Earthbag Village is the first of 7 to be built as the housing component of One Community’s open source model for holistic human support webs. See some of this work in the collage below.
AIRCRETE TEAM

Additionally, she rendered the Nautical room, adding people and clutter, and further populated the bedroom and bathroom with people and objects. She also adjusted the sun pathing and lighting for each view. The City Center will be built along with the first of the 7 villages as part of One Community’s open source model for holistic human support webs. See some of this below.
Nika Gavran (Industrial Designer) continued her work on the Duplicable City Center dormer window installation plans. This week, Nika focused on moving forward with the dormer window assembly instructions, concentrating on increasing the stability of the structure through the implementation of final screws and fasteners. She initiated renders for the final document, having a more finalized version of all the wood cuts. Additionally, she began working on the composition of the final document, inputting dimensions for the wood cuts. The Duplicable City Center is a foundational part of One Community’s open source holistic human support webs model. See below for some of the pictures related to this work.
HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS
