- global co-living ecosystem. global dencetralized living platform
- work and live anywhere. go back to nomadic roots. go where nature culture govt treats us well while working on what we want
- covid didnt create but accelerated trend of remote work. educated world on possibilities of remote work

- it's possible but not seamless. challenges
  - consistency
    - airbnb lacks consistency
  - convenience
    - hotels are consistent but not convenient. too expensive. no access to kitchen. workspace. friends family
  - communities
    - loneliness is an epidemic nomadic, remote or not

unsustainable for majority of population without addressing these challenges

a new real estate system driven by software

build 10x faster with new building block

wall, floor, ceiling panels - life size lego blocks
insulation, water proofing, electrical, plumbing
flat packed, shipped and rapidly assembled
complete system has finishes, kitchen, bathroom from the factory
  built backyard home in 8 days
    small scale first to validate then scale
    no big cranes or euipment required

buildcover.com

faster way to build + better way to live. we obsess over details
high quality pre fabs. high end, lower cost, make them mass market

with finite set of panels virtually infinite number of designs are possible

back yard homes are just the start -> primary homes with 2 stories, multi-family buildings

modular construction allows cities to easily and quickly adapt
  cities can easily be built in 3-4 months with consistent quality
  doesnt have to be static building but could be evolved to changing needs
  conventional are fixed, modular you can refurnish them
  
prefab systems will be approved for building code compliance at system level eliminating building code approvals for each building--starting with california
  software itself that configures panels will be preapproved too for fast permitting
  
building code approvals are easier because theyre mostly objective. zoning is harder
  today what you can do on your property is controlled by zoning. city tells you what you can build.
  
space will be negotiated without intermediaries
1. turn valued spatial traits such as views, privacy, and light into property rights
  - quantify and turn into property rights that can be traded
2. owners trade these rights directly
  1. upload a digital model of proposed change to an authentication system which identifies impacted rights
  2. negotiate through an exchange
  3. upon agreement, transfer rights and start construction
  - cities of future to match pace of building at cover

The building block of the future enables us to build 10x faster
Modular construction allows cities to easily and quickly adapt Space
will be negotiated with intermediaries

## 3. [Spectra](https://youtu.be/Kq3Zlw816jU?si=cOJAtgS-y0VskTHf)

a vision of an ideal city

use VR to test urban design ideas
  build a concept city to experiment urban form which then leads to a real city of 1m ppl
  top down and bottom up of form cities of blocks of 100-200 ppl and move blocks around cities
  have smaller groups of 100-200 ppl take over blocks and customize it like legos (concepts)

tunnel network built from the beginning for logistics and packages
elevated viewpoints

all ideas are wrapped up into a kit of parts. released under creative commons license. ppl can take experiments and give it back

launched in jan to launch about 20 workshops in the city

game is launching in VR

bought land in PR to experiment as a hospitality farm
  same experiment of two styles of buildings
