After a round of introductions we split in two groups to discuss the material (design &amp; sustainability) and immaterial (process &amp; community) aspects more in depth. Below are some points that stood out:<\/p>\n<h2>DESIGN \/ SUSTAINABILITY<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The envelope (general dimensions of the building) is subject to change to better accommodate sound isolation specifications.<\/li>\n<li>The first phase of the application is more about the process and financial model and less about the design.<\/li>\n<li>There is a cooperative in the neighbourhood to use the heat from the data center nearby, we will get in touch with them.<\/li>\n<li>We are dedicated to open-source our process and models to influence other projects.<\/li>\n<li>The building could mark the location with a strong identity, inspiring vision.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>PROCESS \/ COMMUNITY<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>We strive for an intentionally diverse community, with intergenerational, queer and racial representation, as well as abilities, origins and incomes.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cI want this project to happen, even if I don\u2019t get to live there myself.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Even if this specific application fails, we have the structure to keep working together, so we can carry this project elsewhere if necessary.<\/li>\n<li>How could we involve the already-existing community and NOT to be a gentrification force against our will?<\/li>\n<li>How much would we be comfortable with compromises, or alternatively, how much are we willing to try and bend the rules?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>NEXT STEPS<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>check out the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/nieuwerland.tumblr.com\/\">Tumblr<\/a>\u00a0where you can post inspirations or\u00a0questions!<\/li>\n<li>signup on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/join.slack.com\/t\/nieuwerland\/shared_invite\/enQtMzg3NTkwMzU5MzQ0LTllZWI4MTI2OTI4MmM4MjE1NmJiMjg2N2JjOTc1MzNjMDFjZGEzMzY1NzMxNTY3OThkYTI1YzY1MzAwMDc0YTc\">Slack<\/a>\u00a0to get more actively\u00a0involved in the process!<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/138144873721302\/\">spread the word<\/a>\u00a0about\u00a0the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/radar.squat.net\/en\/event\/amsterdam\/nieuwland\/2018-07-15\/nieuwerland-info-night-2\">next public meeting<\/a>\u00a0on 15 July 7pm!<\/li>\n<li>save the date: 11 or 12 August for BBQ at Archimedesplantsoen!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\u2026and let\u2019s keep dreaming and scheming! \ud83c\udfd7<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Monday, our\u00a0very first public meeting brought together 20 enthusiasticpeople with diverse skills and experiences\u00a0\u2014all dedicated to make a postcapitalist urban commune a reality!\u00a0We started&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-387","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nieuwemeent.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/387","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nieuwemeent.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nieuwemeent.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nieuwemeent.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nieuwemeent.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=387"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/nieuwemeent.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/387\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":594,"href":"https:\/\/nieuwemeent.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/387\/revisions\/594"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nieuwemeent.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=387"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nieuwemeent.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=387"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nieuwemeent.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=387"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
