Managing Global Transformation – One Community Weekly Progress Update #278

Managing global transformation is probably not possible, but creating an open source and self-replicating sustainability model that can create global transformation without management is absolutely possible.

• 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

ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is managing global transformation 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:

• • • Learn about: Our Upcoming Crowdfunding Campaign
    • Learn about the different village models: 7 Sustainable Village Models
    • Visit the open source portals for the first two: Earthbag Village OS Hub | Straw Bale Village OS Hub

This week the core team created and added to the site this new Tree House Village (Pod 7) residential housing perspective image.

The core team working with Michael Hagler (Senior Graphic Designer and Artist) also completed another round of edit requests and updates and added Michael’s latest approved and finalized images to the Shipping Container Village, Recycled Materials Village, Tree House Village, and Duplicable City Center open source hubs. You can see some of this work here.

Continued Edits & Added Finalized Images to 4 Housing Pages – Click for Highest Good Housing Page

Michael additionally integrated another round of suggestions and edits into all the pages shown here. These, like the previous images, are all from the 7-villages book we’re developing. We’d say we are now about 85% complete with it.

Integrated Another Round of Suggestions and Edits Into Several Pages – Click for Highest Good Housing

Hemanth Kotaru (Structural Engineer) completed his 17th week helping with the structural engineering research and calculations for the Earthbag Village (Pod 1). This week’s focus was nail embedment calculations and research on cement mortar and polypyrene bag bond strength.

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is managing global transformation 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:

• • • Learn about this building and it’s function: Duplicable City Center Open Source Hub

This week the core team continued rebuilding and testing the City Center geodesic dome parts in 3D. This week we continued the shell structure process from the bottom up, finishing rows 2, 3, and 4, as shown 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 rearranged the Google doc and added more information from the LDS Prepper videos we’ve been reviewing. We also continued researching the Stout method by watching 3 videos and integrating the relevant information covering details like the importance of using organic hay or grass and cutting it before it goes to seed. You can see some of this work here.
