| It appeared to me that this housing model was very addapted to today's urban citizens: . they need to be close to the city for their job, . they want their own appartment for privacy, and . they want social relations with their neighbours. So I started contacting people in many cohousings and 14 of them received us in the summer of 2006. We made a product that is interesting for those who don't know any thing about cohousing, as well as those who already live in one. In fact the DVD also gets 4 extra interviews on special issues. The issues of the main film are: Historical roots Common spaces Dining together Sharing (most of) our lifes Paradise for kids Oasis for parents Cohousing for elders Taking decisions Empowerment Issues of the 4 extras: Strawbail cohousing Advise to take decision Advise to start your own cohousing Wrapparound greenhouse |
