    Craig and Jennifer from Seattle write responses to 7 questions.<\/p><\/div>\n

     <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    1. What did you think of when you saw the Flock House? (Its design, a memory, how you would change it, a feeling you had about it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Transitional,\u00a0adaptable<\/p>\n

    I thought of a play structure – fun and exploration.<\/p>\n

    2.\u00a0Would you like to spend time in a Flock House? Spend the night?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Yes<\/p>\n

    Yes<\/p>\n

    3. How can a Flock House be equipped with its own source of water, energy and waste collection? Gardens to grow food and herbs?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Water = rain & containment system, Energy = pedal wheel\/bike for creating electricity, Waste = Huma-Nure, Garden = Green Wall<\/p>\n

    Rain collection systems could be used as well as solar panels. Portable gardens could be installed and moved to take advantage of changing light sources.<\/p>\n

    4. If you were on a Flock House design team, what recycled building materials would you suggest?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Clear plastic clamshell = variety of sizes and closure designs.<\/p>\n

    Recycled plastics\u00a0– plastic bags & water bottles, tires and rubber could be used as other building materials<\/p>\n

    5. What could you contribute to a design and building team? (Skills, knowledge, experience, interest)<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Skills = outdoors experience – cooking<\/p>\n

    Not much! Sewing skills! and an interest to learn from others.<\/p>\n

    6. Now there are only a few Houses in a tiny global Flock. Imagine if hundreds migrated to one place, and set up for several weeks. Would you want to be there?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    No – would become a place of community reliance – seems to go against the need for \/nature of Flock House.<\/p>\n

    Yes, but probably for a more limited time.<\/p>\n

    7. What role might the Flock House idea play in addressing population displacement and suffering? (Such as: Drought, Scarcity, Famine, Armed attack and property damage, Disruptions or absence of utilities such as electricity, communications, sanitation, and water?)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Adaptability to current situation\/need<\/p>\n

    The portability of the Flock House would make it ideal in these situations – moving to better climates, food sources, more secure\/safe areas and would make repairing the houses with any available materials so that the structures of those houses may change as needs and circumstances change.<\/p>\n
