Microhouse Workshop 3 - Script.

At Open Source Ecology. We're developing open source industrial machines that can be made for a fraction of commercial costs, and sharing our designs online for free. In 2011, we published our beta release of the tractor, brick press, soil pulverizer, and power unit - our Civilization Starter Kit v0.01. In 2012, we refined the build of the brick press - to a single day. In 2013, we built our first Microhouse - - a comfortable, affordable home using onsite soil. Earlier this year, we continued with a second prototype. The goal of the first 2 Microhouse prototypes were to test the limits of a rapid build using a large group of people. Now we are building - Microhouse Version 3 - Open Source Ecology's most ambitious building project to date.

We will be biulding a comfortable, open source home - that is fully code compliant, directly transferable to the urban environment and 1/3 the cost of conventional housing. This prototype is designed to be affordable, expandable, and driven by the owner-builder experience - suitable to both DIY and professional builders alike.

The house has 512 sqft of livable space; uses passive solar gain; and has a 2 story double thick CEB wall. The thermal mass will keep the house on average, 15 degrees cooler in the summer - therfor lowering heating and cooling costs. The aesthetics of the compressed earth block allows for minimum interior and exterior finishing, furthering cost savings. Our collaborative build technique allows for simultaneous, prefabricated modular assembly resulting in extremely rapid and labor efficient construction.

Our plan for this house is a 5 day immersion education experience where we go all the way from foundation to finishing. Sign up and be a part of an unprecedented achievement in sustainable construction and open source hardware.
