<h4>Build Yourself. Build Your World.</h4>  
<h4>Build Yourself. Build Your World.</h4>  


This is a 5 day MicroHouse Extreme Manufacturing (XM) workshop- led by <a href="http://opensourceecology.org/marcin-jakubowski/">Marcin Jakubowski</a> intended for innovators and entrepreneurs who are interested in exploring the limits of XM for rapid manufacturing of environmentally friendly homes. Blending Compressed Earth Block construction with modular roof panels as our contract-first design, our goal is to demonstrate that quality housing can be built with multi-purpose flexibility using module-based designs and parallel building for optimizing design evolution.  Our goal is reducing the time of construction by a factor of 20 compared to industry standards, at ⅓ the cost of conventional housing.  Our XM design process involves a rapid parallel swarm workflow with 48 people using simple-to-follow documentation created with Agile and Waterfall methods prior to build.  The MicroHouse XM 4 design is built on the experience of the last 3 iterations to produce the most ambitious - level of completion - build of a 762 sf home using test-driven open source techniques and equipment.  If you are interested in natural home building or extreme efficiency of effort towards manufacturing, you will learn first hand how to take your home or project to the next level of ownership.  Workshop includes 4 days of hands-on immersive team building, and a full day for review, discussion, and exploration of entrepreneurship opportunities. Our concept is consistent with open source economics and social production.

September 25-30, 2014 (1-5 day options)

Factor e Farm - Maysville MO, USA

Build Yourself. Build Your World.

This is a 5 day MicroHouse Extreme Manufacturing (XM) workshop- led by <a href="http://opensourceecology.org/marcin-jakubowski/">Marcin Jakubowski</a> intended for innovators and entrepreneurs who are interested in exploring the limits of XM for rapid manufacturing of environmentally friendly homes. Blending Compressed Earth Block construction with modular roof panels as our contract-first design, our goal is to demonstrate that quality housing can be built with multi-purpose flexibility using module-based designs and parallel building for optimizing design evolution. Our goal is reducing the duration of construction by a factor of 20 compared to industry standards, at ⅓ the cost of conventional housing. Our XM design process involves a rapid parallel swarm workflow with 48 people using simple-to-follow documentation created with Agile and Waterfall methods prior to build. The MicroHouse XM 4 design is built on the experience of the last 3 iterations to produce the most ambitious - level of completion - build of a 762 sf home using test-driven open source techniques and equipment. If you are interested in natural home building or extreme efficiency of effort towards manufacturing, you will learn first hand how to take your home or project to the next level of ownership. Workshop includes 4 days of hands-on immersive team building, and a full day for review, discussion, and exploration of entrepreneurship opportunities. Our concept is consistent with open source economics and social production.

  • 1-5 day options are available:
  • Full Five-Day Workshop: Arrival and intro session will take place on Thursday evening, September 25, 2014. Workshop begins on Friday morning, September 26, at 8 AM and concludes Tuesday 6:30 PM, September 30.
