We started with a "campus" like idea back in 2010, see idea #3 here: http://dangerouslyawesome.com/2010/10/a-few-modest-proposals-for-the-knight-arts-challenge-philadelphia/
The thin that I've learned over the last 5 years of exploring this idea before we ever put a shovel to the ground is how the "campus" mentality is fundamentally broken, how it unintentionally creates barriers, and how the campus will result in in uncanny, artificial feeling community. Our new approach has had SO many new influences - both in what we're doing and what we're NOT doing. I've very intentionally been quiet about things because I'd told too many people what we were *going* to do before we'd cleared the hurdles that slowed us down along the way. Now, as spring rolls around, we have a clear path forward and I couldn't be more excited! -Alex ------------------ *The #1 mistake in community building is doing it by yourself.* Join the list: http://coworkingweekly.com Listen to the podcast: http://dangerouslyawesome.com/podcast On Fri, Mar 20, 2015 at 4:13 PM, Ky Ekinci <[email protected]> wrote: > Alex, congrats! > > What a great idea. > > I've been playing with a similar idea, but more within a campus in > Florida.
