![]() " I chose Sweet Home 3D because it's so easy to use and understand, it enables libraries to be created and used with little effort, and it allows precise placement of objects through numeric coordinates. Here is a report from Catarina Mota, lead designer for the greenhouse, who worked with Sweet Home 3D: You can see more pictures and documentation about this at the Aquaponic Greenhouse Workshop page. This culminated in a workshop, where we built the structure in 2 days with 30 people using our modular build techniques. Open Source Aquaponic Greenhouse from Open Source Ecology on Vimeo The reality started to take form in Sweet Home 3D as shown in the following video. For this reason, we will be upgrading to the much more powerful and extensible FreeCAD package, which was too hard to use - until recently.īecause of its user friendliness and ready capacity to make renders, we chose Sweet Home 3D for our recent build of the aquaponic greenhouse. In the past, we have used Sketchup quite heavily, but Sketchup is not open source, and is limited. We are using Sweet Home 3D, FreeCAD, Blender, and other open source software to maximize our collaboration with contributors from around the world. We focus on using open source tools in order to promote widespread collaboration - just like Sweet Home 3D has succeeded in doing. How Sweet Home 3D takes place in it ? Why and what for do you use it? After modules have been built in the workshop, they are installed on site and coupled together - like legos. ![]() The walls are made of 4x8 foot modules and the roof is made of 4x16 foot modules. Our construction is similar to pre-fab, but everything is fabricated on site, rather than in a factory. ![]() We build modular machines and structures. The Global Village Construction Set focuses on modularity. See the TED Talk on the Global Village Construction Set in the following video. It’s called the Global Village Construction Set (GVCS). We have before us the great potential for the emergence of the "maker culture", a culture where communities make what they need out of what they already have, using ideas and plans developed, tested and shared freely via open source.Īmong the ranks of organizations who are actively bringing about this kind of societal transformation is Open Source Ecology (OSE), a Non-Governmental Organization and hive of engineers, architects, inovators, farmers, and forward thinking pioneers who are condensing more than 250 years of industrial knowledge into a single set of machines and tools that will allow individuals to accomplish industrial level infrastructure, machining, farming and energy projects on a small, local scale, using locally sourced and repurposed materials and biofuels. ![]() In a world desperate for a cultural shift that can offer us a future beyond the inevitable crash of consumer civilization, those who have a better vision and those who have the knowledge and skill to bring ideas into fruition are finding it easier than ever to connect and make amazing things happen. Can you briefly explain your project and what is the Global Village Construction Set? Some months ago, he wrote on our facebook page to show his work in progress, and very recently, someone mention him in the forum while we were interviewing Marcin to know more about his great initiative. ![]() Marcin Jakubowski created the Global Village Construction Set open source platform and uses Sweet Home 3D for his aquaponic greenhouse plans. ![]()
