Octavia Butler in NYC Flock House at Bemis Center – Old\u00a0Market<\/p><\/div>\n

Octavia is\u00a0an elementary school teacher who “always connects anything I experience to teaching.” When seeing the NYC Flock House, she\u00a0imagined\u00a0“a space on a school ground” that “would breed such creativity.” In addition, it would “bring consideration for the current state of our world (use\/waste of resources) and how to re-imagine it all.”<\/p>\n

For self-sufficiency, a Flock House requires: \u00a0“H2<\/sub>O\u00a0= integrate rain barrel, E = solar or wind? Garden boxes affixed to outside, or maybe hanging gardens?” Recycled materials to build Flock Houses are “metals, recycled plastics for covering.” \u00a0As a member of a\u00a0design team, Octavia would bring her “experience as a gardener” and her disposition as a “puzzler.” “I love visualizing possibilities & trying them out.” \u00a0She has also served as a member of “my school’s outdoor classroom committee.”<\/p>\n

“As portable units,” the great contribution of Flock House to addressing population displacement is how they “adapt and move to fit a need. \u00a0If the Flock Houses have\u00a0H2<\/sub>O\/E\/Waste set up, they can be used temporarily by those experiencing a crisis. It also would allow people to be more mobile if they have a portable shelter.”<\/p>\n

Her drawing of a Flock House design is below.<\/p>\n
