These four visitors agreed to answer the 7 questions (3) and drew their vision of Flock House as an idea (4). I will take this opportunity to share the complete wording for the 7 questions and their answers. This provides a more accurate representation of these data at the the primary level of organization.
Group of 4 sits at table to complete the 7 Questions sheet.
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.)
Is it for one person or a whole family? do you migrate in it? If so then it would work well for the future where there will be less space.
It makes me think of the future.
It brought me a different view of what is to come.
2. Would you like to spend time in a Flock House? Spend the night?
I would like to spend the night in a flock house to see what it feels like.
I probably would not want to spend the night in a flock house since I am so used to my bed and lifestyle.
Most likely.
3. How can a Flock House be equipped with its own source of water, energy and waste collection? Gardens to grow food and herbs?
If it has wheels you can migrate to the nearest water source, you could only use sunlight for energy.
There can be a water tank for a source of water. There can be solar panels for energy. There can be a waste basket. There can be a garden outside of the house.
I feel that it is dependent on where it is.
Drawing from Group of 4, water, solar, garden on movable Flock House.
Group of 4 drawing – wind energy, filtered rain water, waste container.
4. If you were on a Flock House design team, what recycled building materials would you suggest?
Wood, metal, plastic
Old wood, plastic bags, plastics, old tires, metals
Sheet metal, plywood.
5. What could you contribute to a design and building team? (Skills, knowledge, experience, interest)
I know how to sew. Just being a member of the team can impact the outcome of the design.
Having it be small and efficient.
Group of 4 – Features free standing, mobile design and communications
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?
Sounds like warped tour. Yes.
I could not imagine living in a flock house. However, it would be a sight to see.
I could not imagine spending so much time in a place with so many Flock Houses.
7. What role might the Flock House 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?)
It could definitely be a cheaper way for more people to have homes, no children would go homeless or cold.
Flock Houses provide people compact homes. It is easy for migration. People will learn to take what they need and value every resource.
Easy migrations to a different area, living style would become nomadic.
Group of 4 – design uses wind to move Flock House on wheels.
