Memories of Geodesic Domes, Teaching "Community Encounter", a Class Construction Project, a 'field-trip' to BLM land, a field alongside the Colorado River. The goal: to build a geodesic dome and after assembling it to camp & live in it 'off the grid', 'lightly', 'ecologically' for three days... then disassemble the dome, repack it in our caravan of vans, cars and a truck and drive back to Los Angeles.... and in the the next class session discuss 'key learnings.'
