Overview: This short-term grant will assist applicants in building a prototype structure to be displayed at the first Ephemerisle festival, October 2-4, 2009. The type of structure is the same as in our long-term grants described above. Because of the short-term nature of this grant, amounts available will be smaller. Ephemerisle grants are designed to be easy to apply for, and easy to receive. If this is your first time dealing with a grant program, you may find this a good place to start.
The seastar concept introduces the concept of connecting small Single Family Seasteads with long relative flexible extensions ( that give them a wave behavior of much bigger platforms) to a flexibe Seastar Grid that would work like a flexible tissue on the watersurface, dampening waves to almost cero, reducing rolling to cero, maintaining scaleability, retundancy, floatability after damage, mobility, in combining concrete shell floats with floating marina concepts.
