Putting on an event

We're trying to share our experience and demystify site-prearation, be it an urban convergence or a field camp from scratch.

We have divided our experience into the following categories, but maybe you've got time to read everything, and help us bust any lingering jargon by adding to the "Frequently Asked Questions".

Even if you don't believe you'll go as far as, for example, producing ex-urinal straw bails and taking them to an appreciative allotment at the end of your event, we hope these guides, or "recipes" help you make an informed exploration of how low-impact, low-tech or intelligently renewable your event could be.

  • Urban Convergence
  • Tips for site co-ordination
  • Site Office Guide
  • Kitchen Advice
  • Camp Electrics
  • Plumbing part 1: getting water on site
  • An Introduction to Transport
  • Sanitation Timeline
  • Sanitation Recipe
  • Wheelchair Toilet design graphic

These are the solutions that we know best, but there are many different solutions out there. For further inspiration we have a links page for other impermanent human habitats like http://shewhomeasures.wordpress.com/tree-bog/ or permanent urban regenrration like http://www.rhizomecollective.org/node/7
