Circular Tiny Habitats (CT-Habitats)
Produce 4 Mars Build on Earth
Welcome to the Circular Tiny Habitats (CT-Habitats) page, where we redefine sustainable and affordable living through innovative Circular Architectural Techniques (CATs). Our primary objective is to reduce costs and environmental impacts by enhancing efficiency and productivity, inspired by the visionary insights of R. Buckminster Fuller.
About CT-Habitats:
Our CT-Habitats are designed to maximize efficiency and sustainability. By discovering geometric patterns that reduce the height-to-width ratio from 1:2 to 1:4, we enable the entire structure to be built with just four modules. This not only doubles efficiency but also increases productivity tenfold, aiming to reduce costs by half compared to current geodesic solutions.
Guiding Principles:
-
"To do more and more with less and less until eventually you can do everything with nothing."
-
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
-
"Our beds are empty two-thirds of the time. Our living rooms are empty seven-eighths of the time. Our office buildings are empty half the time. It’s time we gave this some thought."
Key Features:
Enhanced Efficiency and Productivity:
Our geometric patterns allow for a more compact and efficient use of space. The reduced height-to-width ratio facilitates the construction of durable structures with fewer modules, significantly increasing productivity.
Cost Reduction:
By optimizing design and construction processes, we aim to halve the costs compared to existing geodesic solutions.
Durability and Adaptability:
Our designs ensure durability and are crafted for ease of reuse and repurposing, supporting sustainable living. The CT-Habitats can be disassembled and reconfigured to meet future needs without creating waste.
Local Production and Construction:
CT-Habitats are produced and constructed onsite by local communities. This approach not only reduces transportation emissions but also empowers locals with the skills and resources to build and maintain their homes.
Three Size Joints:
Our habitats use only three size joints, which are sealed for insulation and to prevent leaking. This simple yet effective design ensures the integrity and comfort of the living spaces.
Comparison with Other Solutions:
Circular Architectural Techniques vs. Geodesic Homes
While geodesic homes, such as those developed by Geoship, offer innovative solutions, our Circular Architectural Techniques provide distinct advantages:
Geometric Efficiency:
Our discovery of geometric patterns reduces the height-to-width ratio from 1:2 to 1:4, allowing construction with just four modules. This geometric efficiency doubles productivity and significantly reduces costs.
Module Reduction:
By using fewer modules, we streamline the construction process, enhancing both efficiency and productivity.
Adaptability:
Our designs are inherently adaptable, allowing for easy disassembly and reconfiguration to meet changing needs. This adaptability minimizes waste and supports long-term sustainability.
Comparison with Buckminster Fuller's Designs:
Buckminster Fuller was a pioneer in sustainable architecture, and his designs laid the groundwork for many modern innovations. However, our Circular Architectural Techniques take his principles further:
-
Simplified Construction:
By reducing the number of modules required, we simplify the construction process, making it more accessible and cost-effective.
-
Local Empowerment:
Our focus on local production and construction empowers communities, fostering self-sufficiency and resilience.
-
Environmental Impact: We prioritize reducing environmental impacts by utilizing biobased materials and energy-efficient systems.
Sustainability and Innovation:
CT-Habitats are not just about building houses; they are about creating a sustainable future. We focus on:
-
Reducing Embodied Carbon Emissions:
Utilizing biobased materials and energy-efficient systems to minimize our carbon footprint.
-
Energy Efficiency:
Implementing systems that optimize energy use, ensuring that our habitats are both sustainable and comfortable.
-
Waste Minimization:
Designing for ease of disassembly and reconfiguration to reduce waste and promote long-term sustainability.
