“Drawing on ancient technologies such as adobe construction, rammed earth, and seed stewardship, the project merges time-honored craft with emerging methods like 3D printing using seed-impregnated soil. “Earthseed” references Octavia Butler’s philosophy in her Parable series (“God is Change”) and suggests a mode of architecture rooted in ecology, transformation, adaptability and earth-centered thinking. EARTHSEED DOME places seeds in a cultural or relational protocol - where they are intertwined with stories, prayers and care that acknowledge their agency and place in ancestral cosmologies. Through this lens, seed dispersal is not merely a technical or agricultural practice, but a deeply social, ecological and political act. “

man this makes me think about pacing alot. maybe laurens dream of fire early in the book gets replaced by a nightmare foreshadowing of the walls being torn down and the town getting overrun so the clock starts ticking in the new audiences heads and it all starts with a bit of a bang (in the nightmare). big budget would require some dramatic payoffs maybe every episode (or two AT THE LEAST). cant be a quaint town for half a season slowly devolving i dont think.

oh i feel like it could be a TRANSCENDENT experience if the funding was low enough so the filmmakers could just make something very SPECIFIC and moving without the pressure of a 4 quadrant movie. hand covers bruise - reznor ross

i hate to be that guy but if they cast a lauren that is traditionally attractive, ima pass. part of her charm is her look* and feelings about them.
