Chris – “The individual eco-social designer and his friend Jay”
Chris takes us to the very beginning of his story in making and hacking systems and redesigning societies.
Starting off with Palomar5 he gained inspiration and the first tools and materials to open the ‘OpenDesignCity” – an initiative brought to life in Berlin’s largest and Coworking Space, betahaus.
There they developed activities such as Bausteln Montag and had the first 3Dprinter Maker Dot3. Everyone would bring screwdrivers, tools, cnc cutters or just a ton of bricks to the ODC – and the true collaborative sense and vibe of the community make this place special.
His co-founder Jay Cousins proposed one day in 2013 to make a Berlin cool places tour with this new group of global makers and hacker calles Global Innovation Gathering.
From there he will take us to Elephantine Island in Egypt where a pure Barcamp Style project helped the local communities come up with solutions to replace revenues from tourism – back in the days when Egypt was shaken by the Arab Spring and most tourists stopped visiting the area.
After he and Jay had cartographed the island and put up a workshop plan with an hour by hour activity up at the pier where participants would arrive by ferry from Aswan, something incredible happened. A herd of goats came and ate the plan. So the 3-day event shifted to a true barcamp with pop-up workshop and spontaneous gatherings
His second story takes us to Sri Lanka where his colleague Himindu came up with an innovative idea to visualize the tree planting progress and make progress in tree planting, by creating a big event where all people from the island come together with family and kids and plant trees, while visualizing together the activity.
His kids who still know how to ‘wonder like a child’ would not be surprised by all these stories.
