The workshop in Ukiah went wonderfully yesterday. It was a long day, but the members of the PPN did a great job in the co-design, and we came out with some wonderful ideas and a great direction for the home.

After introductions and a site walk-through in the morning, Yael Perez (along with help from Dave Rhoades and BT Nguyen) gave a presentation on alternative materials to be considered for the site.

Our project had an article published in Forefront magazine, the biannual College of Engineering newsletter for UCB. Go here to see:

The article is pretty embarrassingly out of date... It is basically just a re-write of an article in the Innovations newsletter from last Fall, with no new information. It doesn't mention anything about the construction plans for the roundhouse prototype, for example.

Still, any press is good press...

The website has finally been updated and gone live. You can read about past work in the archives, found out more about our team in the Present Work section, or see future plans for the UCB/PPN collaboration in Future Projects.Check back for weekly updates on the project!
