Global Sustainability Methodology – One Community Weekly Progress Update #285

One Community is creating a global sustainability methodology built on open source DIY designs for sustainable food, energy, housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, social architecture, fulfilled living, global stewardship practices, and more. We are doing this as a path to global sustainability through a global network of self-replicating teacher/demonstration hubs that will cooperatively create even more open source plans and resources.

• 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

This week the core team also continued testing the open source Murphy bed furniture assembly instructions. We removed parts that will not be in the new design, designed all the new parts, and made corrections for the floating shelf. In addition, we created the first render with the new table and bed in the ‘up’ position, table down, and the bed down. You can see some of this work-in-progress here.

Shadi Kennedy (Artist and Graphic Designer) also completed his 20th week leading the development of the Murphy bed instructions. This week he integrated changes needed from our 3D testing of the storage section instructions and worked on the parts list and initial layout for the bed frame, some of which you can see here.
