Design Documents

This folder contains integrated designs that combine multiple specifications into cohesive operational plans.

What Goes Here

Design documents show how different systems work together: - Settlement layouts - Process integration - Operational workflows - Scaling plans - Implementation phases

Current Designs

None yet - create as you integrate multiple systems

Planned Designs

Based on Development Roadmap:

Phase 2: Implementation Designs

• mvp-settlement-layout.md - Minimum viable settlement design
• modular-expansion-pattern.md - How to scale from 1x to 10x
• phase-1-implementation-plan.md - First build sequence

Phase 3: Integration Designs

• energy-water-integration.md - How energy and water systems connect
• agriculture-waste-integration.md - Closed-loop nutrient cycling
• community-operations-plan.md - Daily operational workflows
• emergency-response-design.md - Resilience and backup systems

Site-Specific Designs

• western-sahara-pilot-design.md - Complete pilot project design
• baja-peninsula-adaptation.md - Adaptations for different site

How to Use Templates

1. Copy TEMPLATE-design.md
2. Rename to your design (e.g., mvp-settlement-layout.md)
3. Reference multiple specifications
4. Show integration and interactions
5. Include visual diagrams
6. Provide operational scenarios

Tip: Design docs are created AFTER you have relevant specs. They pull together the pieces. Don't design before you spec.
