| Geodesic Earthworks is the start-up company developing the Geodesic Earthworks Kit, a novel, PATENTED (custom shell) construction technology that could be the: most sustainable, most ecological, most economical, most maintenance-free, most non-toxic, most energy-efficient and greenest means of enclosing space for comfortable human habitation yet devised! The Geodesic Earthworks Kit answers the need of our time by applying the available technology to greatest advantage, as you can read about in these pages! According to the US Green Building Council, energy-efficiency is currently the prime motivator in going "green" : Statistics suggest the U.S., with 3% of the world's population, utilizes 25% of the world's energy. As much as 40% of this energy is consumed by America's homes for heating and cooling, etc. If these statistics are correct, a paradigm shift, a design science revolution resulting in affordable, energy-efficient/(potentially) energy- exporting residential housing is not just desirable, it is imperative! “There is no emergence without emergency!” –R. Buckminster Fuller (It appears we've got our emergency!) "Necessity... is the mother of invention." -Plato, The Republic "Nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come." -Victor Hugo Visionaries---Entrepreneurs-—Builders: We are at the doorstep of an emerging new construction paradigm ...and we're going to call it "home"!! |

*A Sustainable building, or Green building is an outcome of a design which focuses on increasing the
efficiency of resource use — energy, water, and materials — while reducing building impacts on human
health and the environment during the building's lifecycle, through better siting, design, construction,
operation, maintenance, and removal.[1]
Green buildings are designed to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health
and the natural environment by:
Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources
Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity
Reducing waste, pollution and environmental degradation[2]
A similar concept is natural building, which is usually on a smaller scale and tends to focus on the use of
natural materials that are available locally.[3] Other commonly used terms include sustainable design
and green architecture. Source: Wikipedia

*Take the Geodesic Earthworks Kit Home Virtual Tour! This first version runs a little fast, but the entryway
is more accurate than in the later rendition, seen below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Li2omrx9D9M

* This is the 2nd Geodesic Earthworks Kit Home Virtual Tour. It runs slower , which we wanted, but our
designer changed the entryway, which we didn't want. The earth will NOT be landscaped as seen herein but
the interior shows a nice vision of possibilities! See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6759wMtdOk
