There Was a Space Family That Lived in a Ball

“Ekinoid homes will be designed to be as easy as is practically possible to fabricate (ideally using no expert knowledge or skills), house a family of three/four, and will take under one week to build. Ideally, the main structure should last over 100 years (and then be recycled).”
 — The Ekinoid ball house is designed for our future selves, and its makers encourage you to “imagine self-assembling a sustainable, off-the-grid town for 10,000 people — in six months. And then [do] that in 10,000 places previously considered uninhabitable.” What with the Mini Ark, the Archipod, and now this Ekinoid, ball houses seem to be on a roll.
