The 1st phase of our Local Earth Village Development Model is an interdisciplinary, open-source design challenge to build an affordable and ecologically designed home for a semi-arid, temperate environment. Participants in this design challenge will include university students and working professionals from around the world. We will host a series of Eco-Design Challenges sequentially featuring one climatic region per challenge with varied design parameters. These designs will eventually be included in Phase II Living Cluster Models.
