Replicable Sustainable Community Models – One Community Weekly Progress Update #364

Replicable sustainable community models can address sustainability, health, food insecurity, homelessness, and more. Here’s One Community’s update marking 7 years of weekly progress reports covering our process of creating all the necessary open source and free-shared components to build them. These open source components include sustainable and DIY-replicable approaches to foodenergyhousingeducationfor-profit and non-profit economic designsocial architecturefulfilled livingglobal stewardship practices, and more.

WHAT ONE COMMUNITY IS CREATING

One Community is creating a place to grow together and change the world together, supporting replicable sustainable community models. We are creating a space that helps each other live in integrity with each other and the planet as we strive to be the greatest versions of ourselves. We do this by harmoniously respecting each other, nature, and the rest of our one shared planet.

Our goal is to demonstrate what we feel is the most sustainable, healthy, and fun environment we can create. A place based on compassion, kindness, and collaboration. This replicable community will serve as an example of how replicable sustainable community models are created and showcase what is possible.

Throughout our design process we are open sourcing and free-sharing everything needed for construction and replication. This includes what we call “Highest Good” approaches to foodenergyhousingeducationfor-profit and non-profit economics designsocial architecturefulfilled livingstewardship practices and more. We are creating these resources for implementation as individual components or complete developments called teacher/demonstration hubs that supports replicable sustainable community models. These hubs will help launch additional hubs as awareness and knowledge grow.

BUILDING THE FIRST OF MANY

One Community will be the first teacher/demonstration hub. It will function as an experiential-learning model that facilitates mass participation to address humanity’s most pressing challenges through: A replicable model for expansion, building seven self-sufficient village/city prototypes, becoming the world leader in open-source sustainability solutions, and evolving and expanding ALL aspects of sustainable living.

WHY ONE COMMUNITY IS CREATING THIS 

The One Community self-replicating model is capable of creating a sustainable planet within 30 years. We will achieve this by establishing successful teacher/demonstration hubs on every continent that supports replicable sustainable community models. Villages include designs appropriate for each of the five main types of climates. They also include options for even the most challenged economies. These hubs will collaborate with one another, share ideas, resources, and work together as a network to heal the planet. They will also transform the global lifestyle to a more enjoyable, fulfilling, healthy, and sustainable one.

The specifics of how One Community is accomplishing this can be found on the One Community Solution Model to Create Solution-creating Models Page. Research supporting and showing the benefits of a model like this can be found on our Research and Resources Articles Archive.

Even if we don’t achieve our ultimate goal of global transformation, a self-replicating teacher/demonstration model like this will contribute to replicable sustainable community models, positively affecting millions while inspiring millions more. For One Community residents (the Pioneer Team), the idea of creating and sharing the social and recreational experience with visitors is also fun, exciting, fulfilling, and an additional reason why we are creating this.

Ali Ghahremannezhad (Mechanical Engineer) additionally continued with his 15th week as a member of the team and working on the climate batteries for the Aquapini/Walipini structures. This week Ali worked on 2D transient simulations of the aquapini and walipinis to account for the daily air temperature and solar heat variations for a greenhouse in a climate like ours.

Based on the evaluated base conditions, air flow simulations have been started to obtain the average temperature of the greenhouse for July for both with and without climate pipe cases, to investigate the design of the pipes. The effect of using soil between the pipes is modeled by creating the geometry of the pipes inside the soil and adding the extended soil geometry along with the inserted insulations.

SUMMARY – REPLICABLE SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY MODELS

One Community sees the issues of the world as interdependent and interconnected. To address them simultaneously, and support the process of biohacking our future, we are open-source blueprinting a more advanced standard of living by designing holistic, environmentally-regenerative, self-sustaining, adaptable solutions for all areas of sustainability. We will model these within a comprehensive “village/city” which will be built in the southwestern U.S. This teacher/demonstration hub will be a place people can experience a new way of living and then replicate it with our open source blueprints: creating a model solution that creates additional solution-creating models.
