Earthship Belgium vzw

For a smooth functioning of the NPO we created project groups as governed by statutes. Project groups are set up for the duration of a construction project.

The project group Earthresidence is the first project group created in the NPO.

The project group Earthresidence was founded with the aim of helping to achieve the earthship inspired artwork / house for artists in residence called Earthresidence. It will be realized in cooperation with Verbeke Foundation Kemzeke on the terrain there

It was agreed the following with Verbeke Foundation:

• Verbeke Foundation arranges materials and funds needed for construction;
• Verbeke Foundation arranges shelter and food for the building volunteers;
• Earthship Belgium VZW arranges volunteers;
• Earthship Belgium VZW manages the project together with the architect
• Earthship Belgium VZW is authorized to build in measurement equipment and to collect the data and publish about.

The scope of the project group includes:

• Attending project meetings with representatives of Verbeke Foundation and the architect Frans de Medts;
• Advising on the concept of earthships and maximum monitoring of the performance of Earthresidence as an earthship in the design;
• Advising on the applicability and feasibility of earthship concepts in the design of Earthresidence;
• Supervising the construction;
• Coordinating volunteers for construction;
• Building Earthresidence;
• Organising the measurement equipment with teh study group Research to be built into the walls of Earthresidence;
• Collecting data once Earthresidence is ready;
• Report progress in the project to the group Media Publication.

This project is still looking for building volunteers once construction is started.
