Big Picture

The big picture is public design, the democratization of design/build power so that anyone can contribute to building the world they want to live in. This could mean their home, their enterprise, their life. To do this, we believe that public tools such as documented construction sets, CAD part libraries, visual icon construction sets - can enable anybody to design, build, and innovate on any technology.

Concept

  • To take photos, CAD, icons, and other visuals and stylize them in a uniform way to make them usable as Pattern Language Icons, icons for diagrams, software drag-and-drop buttons, book content identifiers (example, light bulb icon = idea), process design icons, site signage icons, website icons, Visual Workshop signage.
  • Primary use is to
  • Part icons for public engineering:
    • Housing and infrastructure construction set
    • 3D printer parts - 3DP Construction Set
    • Power Cube construction set icons
    • Tractor Construction Set Icons + implements
    • CNC Machine Construction Set design icons - CNC Torch, Mill Lathe, 3D printer, etc.
    • Village infrastructure design icons (Applied Civilization Lab)
