On 8/20/06 11:21 PM, "albert ang"Hi Chia chia,
A few good thigns have came out today. Wilson, Ryal, and I talked to each other on msn, and Ryal will be able to help out getting funds. An idea of using the eco house as wilson's office (a la ECO office in ECO house) smack in the middle of orchard road also arose.
However, whatever ideas we may have, we will need to work within technical restrictions. Those restrictions, you will be the only one who will be the most informed.
So, because we would like this project to proceed asap, I would like to ask if you will be free on any of the evenings this week. We will need to explore and agree on a use for the eco house, thereafter the design. I think there are a few important factors to consider for the use.
-Site, ie Maximum exposure to public
-Educational level
-Costs
The first 2 are inter-related. A good site will increase it's educational message. A house with a good educational message invariably have to be situated at a strategic site. Site is a consideration because 'who' are we building the house for.
I'm sure there are other factors that did not cross my mind at this moment, so please air them.
As I said, design. We should get it down on paper or, better still, CG asap as I believe it will help tremendously in selling our idea to corporate sponsors, govenment body for land space, volunteer's enthusiasm! Ah, design would incl the kinds of green/sustainable technology we would want to incorporate into the house, ie rainwater harvesting, solar panels, compost toilet, green roof, etc
So the 2 points above shall be the agenda of the discussion. We cannot hope to cover all areas, but a skeleton would drive the eco house on with much steam!
Also, Ryal and Wil, would you both like to join the discussion? I think Wilson cannot siam, big stakeholder. ; ) If coming, Ryal, any preferred day?
Cheerios SmileUp!
