Hola, buenas tardes, tengo un proyecto en mente de desarroyo de alimentos naturales en conservas sin pesticidas ni químicos cultivados por mi misma, ¿cabría realizar este microproyecto y vivir allí en 1769?
My name is Emma and I am a recent graduate of the University of Washington in Seattle, WA, USA. I received a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science and Resource Management with Honors and a minor in Urban Planning. I speak a decent amount of Spanish but would like to become fluent and am primarily interested in / have experience with climate change mitigation and adaptation involving infrastructure, transportation, energy, and agriculture. I am interested in discussing opportunities with the 1769 lab if someone is available in the near future for a virtual meeting.
Here is some information on a project I created a led at the UW: https://resiliency-tunnel.webflow.io
Thank you and looking forward to learning more!
Hi Emma,
this is Manuel, I recently moved from Salt Spring Island back to my hometown, Madrid.
We are starting an urban cohousing project based on permaculture, zero impact/waste and your res/Tunnel looks great for our roof.
I would like to have more info if it’s possible to integrate it into the architectural project.
