<\/a>Mary Nichols, draws and writes while waiting for Roger and her twin granddaughters.<\/p><\/div>\n
Mary arrived from work in downtown Omaha. She had time to write her ideas in the 7 Questions and draw\u00a0a pull able cart design for\u00a0a Flock House.<\/p>\n
The Flock House reminded her “of dice – rolling to any place or direction.” Spending time in a Flock House is a “Maybe,” because “I need a certain degree of comfort and would need to feel safe.”<\/p>\n
To be self sustainable, “A house like a gypsy caravan could collect rain water and have roof top garden and manual\/bicycle type wheels with energy collector like a battery.” Recycled building materials are “Roofing, metal sheeting, fiberglass – use anything available.”<\/p>\n
<\/a>Mary Nichols – Envisions a hard back on the cart that could raise up for added protection and to guide water collection.<\/p><\/div>\n
Mary modeled her drawing\u00a0after the gypsy cart. She envisions,”small caravans designed in a way that they could come together and form a community, larger form that allows greater safety from elements. \u00a0Maybe like pieces of a pie. The very center could be where resources are shared.” For greater safety, they “could raise up a hard back screen…so that all together they form a tornado\/wind resistant dome.”<\/p>\n
Twins arrive to draw in NYC Flock House<\/strong><\/p>\n Lily and Aislinn, age 4, climb up and settle into drawing their Flock House.<\/p><\/div>\n Aislinn, Age 4 – Flock House drawing is sphere on platform, like the NYC Flock House. Wood and cloth are\u00a0in\u00a0code by color. If you look carefully in the blue base, you will see the floor and pillows.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/a><\/a>
