Subject: Paracity<br>To: Michel Bauwens <<a href="mailto:michelsub2004@gmail.com">michelsub2004@gmail.com</a>><br><br><br>Dear Michel,<br>
<br>
Greetings from Finland. We are currently working with a significant project of biourbanism located on a flooding island in the middle of the Danshui River in Taipei. The project is called Paracity and it is a biourban organism that is growing on the principles of Open Form: individual design-build actions generating spontaneous communicative reactions on the surrounding built human environment and this organic constructivist dialog leading into self-organized community structures, development and knowledge building.<br>
<br>
We only provide the primary structure and the necessary off-the-grid environmental technology (mounted on barges), but people build their own homes, businesses and gardens/farms. Paracity is now being exhibited in the China Central Academy of Fine Arts CAFAM Biennale in Beijing. Here is more information:<br>
