Organizing a Micro-Society Based on a Different Set of Rules: "It Happens Too Often That Economic Standards Dictate the Way We Live and Organize Our Lives" - Marthijn Pool, Space&Matter

In this video host at Arka, Ane Cortzen talks with the architect and co-founder of Space&Matter, Marthijn Pool about organizing and building a micro-society based on its own economic system.

The residents of the floating village own their own houses but share a detached sewer system and an independent energy system, among other sustainable initiatives.
