Help Wanted: Builders for the Fort Galt Project
So now that we've refined the design, secured the build site, raised the funding, and are now proceeding with the permitting process, we've also released a new up-to-date animated rendering of what it is that we're building down here.
If all goes well, we could be ready for construction in a few months so we've begun to seek out a small number of skilled builders to help with construction. If you or someone you know might be interested, please contact us through our website.
How exciting! I'm so glad I moved here in time to see all the action. :-D
The pace is really picking up now, right? If it keeps snowballing like this, we'll have a new Hong Kong down here in no time! :D
Totally! :P
Yes, it going to be pretty busy soon! I really can not wait!
3D printing tech comes to mind. Are there any brilliant ancap architects out there?
My business partner Luke does the 3D modeling and works with a local architect when needed. We'll definitely have 3D printers in the makerspace for prototyping.
I was thinking along the lines of those cement laying mega sized 3D printers. Maybe combined with some prefab modules etc. I'd like to see a project like this really push the architectural-sustainable envelope.
This isn't a stunt to get publicity in tech crunch or wired. 3D printing would make absolutely no sense for what we're doing. It's a simple building that only calls for local materials and traditional methods... besides, softwood lumber is much more sustainable than cement, as far as materials go.
That's true about cement's energy footprint. It's early days for printing dwellings and 'suggesting' them may have been a bit premature. My apologies.
