CLEAR Village Lab

The CLEAR Village Lab is a three-day, immersive event gathering together passionate professionals from a variety of disciplines to create the master plan strategy for a real-life sustainable village. The intention of this initiative is not to build a ‘perfect place’, but rather to foster a dynamic, living community which embraces principles, technologies and forms of governance that allow for a more sustainable future of living and can provide a benchmark for other communities to follow. The 2009 Lab is the first in a series which will develop the master plan through multiple phases until building is ready to commence. At this first CLEAR Village Lab participants will be allowed the space to contribute as openly, creatively and emotionally as they wish. A ‘dream team’ of up to 100 professionals from complementary industries will be assembled, working together to produce a replicable blueprint for a village. Involvement will push your sustainability work far beyond your existing experience. Your participation in the project will confirm your valuable contribution and commitment to sustainable design, as well as connecting you with other key figures in the arena. As you bring one of the world’s most inspired eco-design projects to life, you will gain a rewarding and memorable experience that will bring you prestige, insight and new business opportunities.
