D'Evolve Community Center
-Our entry in the Global Green Competition for New Orleans was focused on utilization of Randal Ehm’s fiberglass housing unit. The initial product, which is in the form of an Indian tipi, was developed for Russell Means . Mr. Means co-founded the American Indian Movement in the 1970’s. This proposal suggests incorporation of buoyant hulls into the design of the homes, so that in a flood the homes would not flood and could be retrieved if dislodged from their anchorages. In this design scheme, modular tipis serve as the single-family residential component. The community center is designed utilizing the existing tipi forms as building corners, with new straight panels designed to create the larger building enclosures. This entry was exhibited in New Orleans, New York and Washington DC as part of Global Green’s public awareness campaign on sustainable design and green building principles. The tipi project is currently in the patenting process, with the 3-story prototype having been built on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.
