Conscious and conscientious global caretaking is possible. This planet is the only one we have to live on, it is our one shared home. One Community is helping to make it a sustainable planet and home through open source and sustainable approaches to food, energy, housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, social architecture, fulfilled living, global stewardship practices, and more.

ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

Highest Good housing, cob construction, earthbag construction, straw bale construction, earthship construction, subterranean construction, sustainable homes, eco-homesOne Community is global caretaking 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:

Dean Scholz (Architectural Designer) continued helping with the Earthbag Village (Pod 1) 4-dome cluster designs. This week was week #186 of Dean’s work and the focus was trying to create a circular stairway to the rooftop patio that used minimal resources, had sufficient head clearance, and could be DIY-replicated. You can see pictures of these updates below.

Oluyomi “Yomi” Sanyaolu (Technical Writer and Researcher) completed his 20th week with the team and continued research for the Best Small and Large-scale Recycling, Reuse, and Repurposing Options tutorial. This week, Oluyomi completed the first drafts of the glass, paper and plastic waste processing tutorials. After analyzing the cost, labor and feasibility of the different methodologies for the materials, the following plans are in the lead for recycling those materials:

  • Glass: Shredding then mixing with construction materials
  • Paper: Making papercrete and forming shredded paper compost
  • Plastic: Shredding then selling to plastic manufacturers or forming new products that are useful to our communities using an extrusion machine

Our research continued and you can see some of the related work-in-progress in the picture below.

Ziqian Zheng (Architectural Designer and Drafter) also continued working on the Earthbag Village walkthrough and completed week 23 as a volunteer designer with our team. This week’s focus was adding a look into the loft storage during the walkthrough, changing out some of the people, adding more objects to the various views, and updating the side tables in the Couple’s Domes to be the ones we’ll actually build. You can see some screenshots of this below.

Alvaro Hernandez (Open Source Tech Consultant, Developer) also completed his 4th week as a member of the volunteer team. This week Alvaro switched his focus to working on the Sustainable Roadways, Walkways, and Landscaping page. As his work on this will be a process that will be repeated several times in the future, he is taking the time to measure the time it takes of every task during the process. The goal is to create a formatting guide for the researchers, look for ways to improve the web page creation process, and define a checklist to use to improve and streamline the complete creation and review process. You can see some of this work below.

This week Ali worked on the thermal properties of SolaWrap to replace the previous heat calculation with Solexx. Now we’re moving forward with a double layered SolaWrap in the ceilings as well as the walls. He also worked on the 2D transient simulations of the aquapini and walipinis considering SolaWrap as the material in the ceiling. And he worked on the preliminary climate battery design and the general layout of the pipe layers. You can see some of this work below.

With over 8 years of work invested in the process, the sections below are all complete until we move onto the property and continue the development and open sourcing process with teachers and students – a development process that is built directly into the structure of the education program and everything else we’re creating too:

This week Dan Alleck (Designer and Illustrator) completed his 73rd week helping with render additions and finishing work for the rooms in the Ultimate Classroom. This week he continued work on the yellow room, a room about the subject of Math and various empowering character traits. What you see here is Dan’s 8th round of additions to this room. The continued focus and final needed additions are adding learning books, tools, toys, and aids to the shelving on the left and right. With the latest additions, we’d say this room is now 95% complete.

Henry Nguyen (React Developer) additionally completed his 12th week with the team and working on the Highest Good Network software. This week Henry updated new functions to add tasks to the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) in the database. The profile picture will show up on the resources as a dropdown to show all members in the project for the user to select from. A calendar interface will be used to select the start and due date functions. All information about a task can be stored in our mongoDB. Henry also realized last week’s method is not a good way to add WBS IDs because the dropdown will show a very long list when the WBS has many tasks. The new idea is to directly select a task on the task list, then add child tasks to it. You can see some of this work below.
