DESIGNS FOR A BETTER WORLD: THE SEGO CENTER DUPLICABLE CITY HUB

Something we forgot to mention in the video update above is the redesign of the bathrooms and library in the SEGO Center Social Dome. Andrew Sadera (Architect Drafter and Designer) did the beautiful work needed for this streamlining and expansion of both the men’s and women’s bathroom and the library.

Karl Harris (Architect Drafter, Designer, and founder of Harris Design & Technology Services) has also begun adding the appliances into the 3D renderings of the Dining Dome of this structure. The Dining Dome will be the central eating facility for all of One Community and is designed to seat and feed over 150 people at a time.
