Scorecard for Architects
- How do we want to build it?
- LEED Platinum is one criterion
- Or if we want to be really ambitious, "Living buildings?"
- Sustainability in general
- Retro-futuristic/technologically exuberant design (for half the village?)
- Organic and natural look (for other half?)
- What should the architects be like?
- Architecture firm needs to be small enough that we matter to them
- Should have done green building before
- Shouldn't be scared off by our ambition
- What do we want to build
- Workshops
- Meeting spaces
- Sanctuary (more spiritually oriented)
- Fellowship hall? Multipurpose room? (more prosaic/work-oriented)
- Living space
- Some cohousing
- Some dorm-style spaces for people who are volunteering for room and board
- Gardens
- Mainly food-producing
- Wastewater/runoff reclamation
- Outdoor meeting area/plaza
- Including place for big bonfires
Solstice event
- Name brainstorming
- Winterseed
- Winter Solstice
- Longest Night Festival (Sounds good!)
