Sustainable World Building – One Community Weekly Progress Update #127

Sustainable world building is a process of building (and regenerating) our planet to meet humanity’s needs for the foreseeable future. If this is to be achieved, we need a holistic model that recognizes the interrelationship and interdependence of the areas that are foundational to a happy and thriving population. Food, housing, energy, education, recreation, and economics are key areas for such a model. One Community calls simultaneously addressing these areas for the benefit of all people and life, living and creating for The Highest Good of All:

• Here’s our project overview
• Here’s our world-change methodology
• Here’s how this becomes self-replicating
• Here’s how we are open source and free-sharing all the do-it-yourself designs

• Visit the open source portals for the first two: Earthbag Village OS Hub | Straw Bale Village OS Hub

This last week the core team working behind the scenes began what we hope will be the final major revision of the Footers, Foundations and Flooring page for the upcoming crowdfunding campaign.

This included adding more photos & descriptions, writing up a narrative for compass use in creating the dome curvature, compass parts details and more. We’d say we’re about 8% complete with this final revision behind the scenes.

We also added annotations and updated the Earthbag Village main hub with Gilberto’s 3-D interactives of both the 3-dome and 6-dome resident clusters. You can see this work here and experience a self-guided 3-D walkthrough on the main hub:

Sayonara (a member of the Architecture and Planning Intern Team) added final details to the 3D model of the communal shower design for the Earthbag Village (Pod 1). She then brought sections 1 and 2 of the section views of the Straw Bale Village (Pod 2) to 99% completion.

Adolpho from our Mechanical Engineering Intern Team worked with Tiago from our Electrical Intern Team on correcting and finalizing the electrical layout designs for villages 1, 5, and 7, which included adding in control panels, outlets, and an updated lighting plan.

SUSTAINABLE WORLD BUILDING DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is creating sustainable world building through a Duplicable and Sustainable City Center that is LEED Platinum certified/Sustainable, can feed 200 people at a time, provide laundry for over 300 people, is beautiful, spacious, and saves resources, money, and space:

• Learn about this building and it’s function: Duplicable City Center Open Source Hub

This week the core team continued updating the Sketchup 3-D for the Duplicable City Center. This week we finished doors and main walls for the Living Dome, the roof of the 4th floor, and updating to the new layout for the library, restrooms and main area of the Social Dome.

We’d say we’re about 40% complete with the 3-D update.

Civil Engineering intern Renata brought the design and cost analysis of all the windows and doors of the Duplicable City Center to 100% completion:

Mayke finalized his review of the kitchen designs for the Shipping Container Village and the Earthship Village. He also selected the components to use in Revit for the kitchen design modeling in 3D:

Ricardo Carrillo (Design Consultant and Principal of Acumen Industries) and the Structural Intern Team (Beatriz, Rodrigo, and Maurilio) completed the structural design for the interior of the Residential Dome.

This included the finalization of the sizing for the main beams, auxiliary beams and all the columns:
