We also completed doing this for Parsley too, adding 16 varieties total and additional details for the 9 you see featured here:

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

Highest Good housing, cob construction, earthbag construction, straw bale construction, earthship construction, subterranean construction, sustainable homes, eco-homesOne Community is designing new approaches to persistent global challenges 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:

This last week the core team added remote internet rollout specifics for off grid communities of 400+ people to our open source internet setup page. We also added a resources section. The page is now a complete and comprehensive open source guide that is the product of over 2 months of research and work. Here is a snapshot of the newest additions:

We also updated all the 3-D renders throughout the earthbag village sections of the website compliments of the work of Devin Porter (3D Graphics Design Specialist – DevinPorter.com) and Bupesh Seethala (Architectural Drafter, Designer, and 3-D Visualizer – BupeshSeethala.com). This is a huge website update that includes the new pictures you see here of the complete village, 3-dome clusters, 6-dome clusters, ADA compliant 3-dome clusters, and the Tropical Atrium:

In addition to this, we added an overview of the steps required for us to launch our complete crowdfunding campaign to our crowdfunding campaign webpage. These steps are a summary of over 80 hours of  much more specific and behind-the-scenes planning and team organization as we continue to check off all the necessary action items to complete this campaign:

Da Ku (Mechanical Engineer) also finished the necessary engineering calculations for the earthbag village structures we’ll be building, which you can see here:

Engineering Calculations for the Earthbag Village Structures

What you are seeing is that the maximum compression stress (16 psi) is much lower than the strength, which showed these structures are strong when Da Ku ran the numbers using both the mechanical properties of low standard concrete (Young’s Modulus 2.2*10^10 Pa) and the experiments on earthbags from our partners at EarthbagBuilding.com (Young’s Modulus 2*10^7 Pa). We also looked at testing of polypropylene earthbags and found strengths of 43.06 psi, 57.84 psi, and 311 psi – plus other people’s results from the EarthbagBulding.com website that also confirmed strengths greater than 200 psi. While everyone should do their own calculations to confirm these numbers, we feel confident building with this approach.

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

duplicable city center, solution based thinking, One Community, SEGO Center, city hub, recreation center, eco center, sustainable living, ecological living, green living, eco-recreation, group laundry center, for The Highest Good of AllOne Community is designing new approaches to persistent global challenges 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:

This last week the core team completed a significant update to our master energy schedule for the Duplicable City Center and complete earthbag village. Here’s a screen capture of all these details:

We also completed the first few scenes of the Duplicable City Center construction in 3D video that you can see here. This video is being created to showcase the results of over 2 years of design work and will be over 4 minutes long when complete:

Karl Harris (Architect Drafter, Designer, and founder of Harris Design & Technology Services) also finished a recreation of about 6 weeks of work lost due to a computer crash two weeks ago, and added the addition of windows to cupola and a 2nd entrance to the Social Dome/West elevation. This image is all the restored details plus the new additions. (see below)
