Matthew Dumich is an architect. He sat in the NYC Flock House with his wife Christine where they answered 7 Questions and built Flock House models.<\/p>\n

In the 7 Questions he described the NYC Flock House as “experimental – provocative.” \u00a0Would he like to spend time in a Flock House? “Yes, as a calm place of contemplation, but probably not overnight (if outside.)” To be self-sufficient he suggests “water collection from roof with cisterns. Incorporate thin firm photovoltaic cells on roof membrane to generate energy. \u00a0Hang vertical gardens on walls.” Recycled materials he suggests are: “recycled parachutes, street signs or tractor-trailer walls, and car windshield.” He could give “creative ideas and technical understanding of building” to a design and building team. He would want to come to a Flock migration, as “catalyzing communities, idea exchange – a new form of meeting place.” He sees Flock Houses as having “potential for high density housing of refugees and disaster victims.”<\/p>\n

His Flock House model uses solar panels on the roof flaps, valleys on the roof to collect rainwater, and openings at either end to allow natural ventilation.<\/p>\n
