First, through THRIVE Collaborative develop properties to create thriving fossil fuel free homes, workplaces and neighborhoods using the framework of the Living Building Challenge and bring them to scale using the framework of the Living Community Challenge.
Second, through Bygblock create the buildings for our Living Communities using offsite construction in a controlled factory environment powered by on-site renewable energy, using safer and more productive work spaces and processes, sourcing sustainable and healthy materials - then assembling the buildings on site in as little as one day.
Third, through F.E.W. Nexus integrate modernized food, energy and water infrastructure into the building and community scale design so that the buildings and neighborhoods we create function as elegantly as a forest and emulate complex adaptive systems that have evolved in nature over 3.8 billion years.
