schoonschip: phase III The Cleantech Playground is not meant to reach a static point. The community will continue to evolve alongside technological developments and changes in the surrounding environment. MAKE ONGOING IMPROVEMENTS The technologies implemented on site are designed to be modular so that they can be swapped out for improved systems. More DIY constructions can be installed over time, allowing for progressive improvements in quality and aesthetics. The community would benefit from a culture that constantly looks for ways to improve the site. The site should be responsive to changes and new developments. As certain technologies and materials become cheaper over time, the community can achieve even higher performance. INSTALL LARGER GREENHOUSE STRUCTURE ON ADJACENT FLOATING SITE In between the sites of Schoonschip and de Ceuvel is an area earmarked for special floating program. We believe this would be an ideal location to develop a multi-layered floating greenhouse. Once the community is up and running, they could petition to use this floating site their own food production. The greenhouse would include fish, livestock, mushrooms, and various fruits and vegetables. The food produced there could satisfy almost the entirety of both community’s remaining food demand with the exception of red meat, exotic crops like coffee and bananas, and most grains. This greenhouse would need its own business plan and could also produce enough food for sale in the local area. INSTALL EXPERIMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES Experimental technologies like algae reactors, new lighting techniques, and hydrogen systems can be installed and tested on-site. The Cleantech Playground serves not just as a cleantech utility but as a demonstration site for emerging technologies, offering the community additional sources of revenue and creating visibility around promising new methods of sustainable urban development.
