Creating The World We Want – One Community Weekly Progress Update #57

One Community is creating the world we want, and helping others to create the world they want too, through open source and free-sharing do-it-yourself tools, tutorials, resources, plans, and instructions for all areas of living needed for positive and permanent global transformation 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

One Community’s physical location will forward this movement as the first of many self-replicating teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities to be built around the world. Here is our weekly progress update (#57) covering our development and accomplishments for the week of March 24th, 2014:

Creating The World We Want

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD: @3:04

• Continued Zen Aquapini 3-D (see below)
• We also created new high-quality renders of the Large-scale Aquapini design (see below)

• Created and populated a new open source architectural file sharing and brainstorming group on Facebook
• Restarted 3-D window placement for the complete Earthbag Village (see below)
• Devin Porter redesigned the upper walkway of the Tropical Atrium that is the center of the Earthbag Village (see below)

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER: @5:28

• Finished last needed 3-D details, now these files go into the hands of Joel Newman for more real-to-life renders and P2S Engineering for help with mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering details (see below)
• Karl Harris also continued work on the elevations in CAD (see below)

CREATING THE WORLD WE WANT SUMMARY: @6:33

ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

We are creating the world we want and know is possible through Highest Good education that is for all ages, applicable in any environment, adaptable to individual needs, far exceeds traditional education standards, and more fun for both the teachers and the students:

• Learn about the components: Education open source hub
• Learn how the components work together: How to use the Education for Life Program

This last week the core team finished the Health Subject image (and 40% of the webpage). Here it is:

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

We are creating the world we want and know is possible through Highest Good food that is more diverse, more nutritious, locally grown and sustainable, and part of our open source botanical garden model to support and share bio-diversity:

• Learn about the structures: Aquapini & walipini open source hub
• See what we’ll be growing: Aquapini & walipini planting and harvesting | Food Forest | Tropical Atrium P&H

This last week the core team continued progress on the Aesthetic and Diversity-focused Zen Aquapini Design in 3-D. We placed soil, designed the steps around the elevated area pond, added three small pools, the pool under the media beds, and placed the stepping stones:

We also created new high-quality renders of the Large-scale Aquapini design:

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

We are creating the world we want and know is possible through Highest Good housing that is artistic and beautiful, more affordable, more space efficient, lasts longer, DIY buildable, and constructed with healthy and sustainable materials:

• Learn about the different village models: 7 Sustainable Village Models
• Visit the open source portals for the first two: Earthbag Village OS Hub | Straw Bale Village OS Hub

This last week the core team started the calculations for heating and cooling of our specific earthdome designs, calculating actual BTUs of gain and loss for each part of the structure to determine exactly how many BTUs of heat will need to be added or removed to maintain a 72 degree Fahrenheit temperature in a climate ranging from 0-100 F. Here is what this looks like as it is developing:

We also took over on 3-D window movement to demonstrate passive solar application for the complete Earthbag Village after our amazing partner Devin Porter (3D Graphics Design Specialist – DevinPorter.com) sadly lost about 12 hours of his work to a computer crash. Here’s the screenshots of the process required for every window that needs to be moved:

9-Step Process to Window Replacement for Earthbag Village

Passing the windows to us, Devin finished a redesign of the upper walkway of the Tropical Atrium that is the center of the Earthbag Village. This redesign will provide more sunlight to the back of the structure and allow more grow space for trees that will be able to be planted here:

DUPLICABLE CITY HUB PROGRESS

We are creating the world we want and know is possible through a Duplicable and Sustainable City Center that is LEED Platinum certified/Sustainable, can feed 200 people at a time, can provide laundry for over 300 people, beautiful, spacious, saves resources, saves money, and saves space:

This last week the core team finished the last needed 3-D details necessary for this structure to move to the hands of Joel Newman for more real-to-life renders and our consultants at P2S Engineering to discuss mechanical, electrical, and plumbing details. Here are a collection of renders showing this work.

Karl Harris (Architect Drafter, Designer, and founder of Harris Design & Technology Services) also continued his work on the CAD elevations for this structure. Here are screenshot exports of this work continuing:
