Living with More fun in Our Lives – One Community Weekly Progress Update #281

Living with more fun in our lives seems like a worthwhile goal. It’s even better if this can be accomplished while also reducing our ecological footprint, reducing our cost of living, and making a positive and objectively measurable difference in the world. One Community calls this living and creating for The Highest Good of All and we’re creating open source and free-shared tools, tutorials, and resources covering all aspects of the living models necessary to demonstrate and replicate such a lifestyle.

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 thinks we should all be living with more fun in our lives 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 week, the core team outlined several alternative options for the Earthbag Village (Pod 1), as shown here. Dean Scholz (Architectural Designer) will be taking over on these.

Mike Kowalski (Game Developer) finished his 15th week helping update our renders that are too big for anything but a gaming computer. Mike continued working on the Earthbag Village (Pod 1) and finished the two renders you see here, both of which are now updated on the website also.

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

duplicable city center, open source city hub, laundry, dining, swimming pool, hot tub, kitchen, library, game roomOne Community thinks we should all be living with more fun in our lives 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 week the core team began building the Duplicable City Center Time Investment page. This week’s focus was creating the initial formatting, index and jump-to links, and writing the Overview and Why Open Source this sections. We’d say this brings this page to 30% completion.

The core team working with Dipti Dhondarkar (Electrical Engineer) also continued developing the lighting specifics for the City Center. This is Dipti’s 89th week volunteering on this task and the focus this week was finalizing the lighting tests shown here for the Living Dome sunrise patio. This image is now on the website also.

Anvita Kumari Pandey (Civil Engineer) completed her 17th week helping with the Duplicable City Center Materials and Costs. This week’s focus was continued cost analysis for the basement retaining wall and beginning work on costing out the columns and flooring specifics. You can see some of this work here.

This week, the core team continued writing the behind-the-scenes narrative and detailed food rollout plan for the various stages of development. This week we reviewed and summarized the worm videos. The videos demonstrate that worm farms made from PVC pipe and 5 gallon buckets are suitable for non-winter conditions; and in cold climates, a basement would work well but heat and constant feeding are necessary. You can see some of this work here.

This week, the core team began work on the Surpassing Educational Standards page. We redid the formatting and overall outline, updated the initial graphics, added a resources section, and rewrote the What and Why sections. We would say this brings the page to about 30% complete.
