The S.C.O.D. movement is commonly known as “The Sustainable Cooperative for Organic Development”, but the acronym is also known as “The Sustainable Community for Organic Dwelling”; as in the original SCAD Thesis based on the Pipedream Pub and specific architectural design work.
The Pipedream Pub was established by the Tontine Triad at RWU. “The Pub”, as it is affectionately known, stands for the social commonality of humans, and a philosophical temple for the Tontine Triad (aka Drogo, Cordite, and SimaKe). A Triumvirate of ideological knowledge formed the basis of the Pub (aka Empedocles, Nietzsche, and Laotzu). Two abstracted characters from seemingly opposing theories, brought together by a third, provided a client frame work for the Pub; and inspiration for continued design work.
