About - Domes 2.0
Students in International Agricultural Development, Energy Systems and Landscape Design and Architecture helped draft a plan for a co-operative housing community in the Sustainable Living/Learning Communities (SLLC). Inspired by the existing 'The Domes' housing community, the Agriculture Sustainability Institute (academic home to the SLLC), in collaboration with the Solar Community Housing Association, was interested in designing a second cooperative community in the SLLC. The students were given the brief that it should have living accommodations for ~30 inhabitants, with a minimum of 2 ADA-compliant units, and include shared living and cooking facilities for the community. The students suggested three layouts based on stakeholder feedback.
