Waste: Green Home architectural challenge in Nantes


Villa Waste Project was officially launched June 8, 2010 in Nantes.
The goal is to build a house entirely from municipal waste including its layout and interior decoration. The first villa will be built in Nantes in the fall of 2010 and the goal is to decline this construction in other large cities of France.

The two initiators of the original project, Yann Falquerho, designer, and Frédéric Tabary, interior designer, who created the agency also will be surrounded TABAKERO designers, artists, designers and sponsors, VIPs, sponsors and Volunteers will lend a hand with construction. Anyone can nominate your help and expertise as a volunteer.
The project also aims to involve all citizens in the collection of waste used in construction. Indeed, throughout the duration of construction which should last only 20 days, teams of volunteer collectors take care to collect waste and bring them to the artists who transformed and integrated into the building. Everyone can make available to its builders waste found in his basement or attic to participate.

The house will be built and habitable and meet all the normal safety standards. It may even, for a month, since the nights stay will be auctioned and the funds collected will be donated to a charity working for sustainable development.
VILLA WASTE will be a sustainable house since it will be done once disassembled, transported on land and donated to an association.

Customers co-producers (2) The concept

To complete my article on co-production film by the People for Internet users with Cinema, Luc Besson, in partnership with Orange, has also just launched its platform for engaging users to produce a film.

This is called Producteurs.com and we are going deeper into the possibilities given to the surfer who can intervene at all stages of the film.
addition to the possibility given to them to invest money into a film in order to reap a reward in the amount of revenue generated, users can also act on other parameters.
The first step is selecting a synopsis of those proposed. Customers can then participate in developing the script, vote for options achievement, participate in the choice of casting, soundtrack, etc..
A panel of experts assist and advise Internet users in their choice.

As for other cultural industries, the pioneer of crowdsourcing was My Major company, specializing in co-production of musical artists by users. Last May, the site has completed its offering to Internet users, in partnership with a publishing house, investing in new authors. This new site MyMajorCompanyBooks allows authors collecting € 20 000 from the Internet to have their manuscript published 10 000 copies. Customers, investors will share 25% of revenues generated by the book.

Crowdsourcing goes even one step further with these new platforms both at the level of involvement of users in broadening the scope of areas for co-production.
