Problem Statement
The GVCS requires mass recruiting of capable collaborators who can be taugh a functional level of collaborative literacy for swarm design-build. Skills involve full fluency in basic CAD, allowing for modular breakdown required of swarm builds. Extraction of information from CAD must be seamless, as should collaborative design based on a collaborative coordinate system for locating modules. High-functioning and scalable proficiency in wiki (documentation and collaborative orientation), Google Slides, and Google Photos must be guaranteed. With swarm design-build basics, we must provide 100 tool and 100 technique orientation, along with 745 house modules. All are to be iconized, BOM, vBOMed, and CADded up.
Based on RLF-based 100 tool and 100 technique mastery of 745 house modules, we document skill burndown for every participant. 100/100/745 are nominal numbers, and these are a start. Once these are mastered, we move on to 50 machines (GVCS) and 500 modules - culminating in 2028 delivery of the GVCS at $50M price ticket and the Technosphere by 2036 at a $50B price ticket.
To get there, 50 cohorts of 24 are required, totaling buildup of the core OSE facility to 1200 students and thus additional nearby land within 4 years, at a prototype cohort of 24 in 2026, 240 by 2027, and 1200 by start of 2028 - barely eking out completion of the GVCS by 2028.
Scalable infrastructure means on-demand house construction - as simple studios produced from site-milled lumber for structure, CEB for thermal mass, and 3D prints covering glazing, insulation, and appliances. For these - optimized, on-demand. These all plug into the 100kW Hangar, with its supply of thermal batteries for heating and cooling. A modular biodigester adds waste treatment capacity on demand, such that heat, power, and sewer are provided. In time, we will be adding an aquaponic greenhouse for food production.
With scalability cost of:
- $750 heat pump for 750 sf at Heat Pump Sourcing has incremental cost of $125/person if each person starts in an 8x16 microhouse unit.
