The group brainstorming in Rotterdam.
After a week of guest speakers and brainstorming sessions, we have four concept groups which will work for another week refining ideas for a presentation on Friday to the municipality of Den Haag.
Automatic & Easy Sustainability: The goal is to make living sustainably as easy as possible. People living in the future neighborhood will almost automatically be sustainable simply by the new and innovative infrastructure for movement of resources within the community.
Public Space Super-Functionality: How can functions within public space be combined for new and interesting attractions? This group is addressing green and blue infrastructure (Dutch for plants and water) along with energy production, recreation, relaxation, performance space, and food production.
Sustainable Center: How to create a sustainable center without reverting to a 1970’s hippy commune? How does a sustainable platform look in 2050? Is it even a physical place? This group is considering branding, identity, education, and a centered community.
Flexible Engagement: This addresses the social side of sustainability by crafting a system for inhabitants’ engagement into community activities. For example, how to reward citizens who work in the neighborhood collecting vegetables but still respect some citizens’ desire to simply “come home and crash” after a long work week?
We welcome any thoughts you have on these concepts in the comments section!
