THE DESIGN CONCEPT The design for this regenerative community looks to traditional Lakota geometries and community values for its form as well as modern day practices for compact cooperative communities. There are three circles of single family homes, with each circle having 7 homes. The number 7 represents the seven sacred ceremonies of the Lakota people. These circles and the larger circle containing the commercial district and pow wow grounds open to the east. A green spine corridor connects the homes to the marketplaces, daycare, gym and school. The four directions provide primary ordering system for the circulation as well allow for passive solar orientation of each space.
