This survey in an inquiry into the feasibility of Open Source Ecology's proposed Distributive Enterprise (DE) model of social production. We are exploring the case of an 8 hour 3D Printer build workshop, where unskilled people can produce advanced products under the guidance of experienced builders.

This is a 5 day MicroHouse Extreme Manufacturing (XM) workshop- led by Marcin Jakubowski – intended for innovators and entrepreneurs who are interested in exploring the limits of XM for rapid building of environmentally friendly homes. Blending Compressed Earth Block construction with modular roof panels as our contract-first design, our goal is to demonstrate that quality housing can be built with multi-purpose flexibility using module-based designs and parallel building for optimizing design evolution. Our goal is reducing the duration of construction by a factor of 20 compared to industry standards, at ⅓ the cost of conventional housing. Our XM design process involves a rapid parallel swarm workflow with 48 people using simple-to-follow documentation created with Agile and Waterfall methods prior to build. The MicroHouse XM 4 design is built on the experience of the last 3 iterations to produce the most ambitious – level of completion – build of a 762 sf home using test-driven open source techniques and equipment. If you are interested in natural home building or extreme efficiency of effort towards manufacturing, you will learn first hand how to take your home or project to the next level of ownership. Workshop includes 4 days of hands-on immersive building, nightly lectures, and a full day for review, discussion, and exploration of entrepreneurship opportunities. Our concept is consistent with open source economics and social production.

This is a first installment in a new series of articles where I will be reviewing innovative companies—organizations—and ideas that have the potential to reshape our future in a positive way. I will not be reviewing these organizations from a valuation basis, but rather from a conceptual one, and potential impact they can have on our daily lives.

Marcin Jakubowski is the founder of Open Source Ecology, an open collaborative of engineers, producers, and builders developing the Global Village Construction Set (GVCS). The GVCS is a set of 50 most important machines that it takes for modern life to exist – everything from a tractor, to an oven, to a circuit maker. Marcin is producing open source blueprints – so that anyone can build and maintain machines at a fraction of what it costs today. His goal is to create a life size LEGO set of powerful, self-replicating production tools – that can decentralize production – to build modern prosperity in local economies. He imagines the raw power this gives to people – to tap autonomy, mastery, and purpose – towards rebuilding their communities and solving wicked problems. Marcin believes that true freedom – the most essential type of freedom – starts with peoples’ individual ability to use natural resources to free themselves from material constraints – to unleash human potential.

One of Hacking Work's 100 Disruptive Heroes: Marcin Jakubowski is Founding Director of Open Source Ecology (OSE). Marcin and OCE are building the Global Village Construction Set (GVCS): A set of the 50 most important machines that it takes to build a small civilization with modern comforts. Think of the GVCS as a Lego set for life-sized tools that are able to create infrastructures. See simplerwork.com for his full bio and more.

With your help, the world will receive clear instructionals on how to do this. We aim to make our CEB building technique so streamlined that it’s truly replicable by many people. The modules we are building are relevant to tiny homes of 144 square feet in area - and to larger ones - like the current one - at 750 square feet. This existing structure will become work space and office space.

Open Source Ecology is accelerating the growth of the next economy - the Open Source Economy - an economy that optimizes both production and distribution - while promoting environmental regeneration and social justice. We are building theGlobal Village Construction Set. This is a high-performance, modular, do-it-yourself, low-cost platform - that allows for the easy fabrication of the 50 different industrial machines that it takes - to build a small, sustainable civilization with modern comforts.
