Step 6: Publishing

At first Wordpress seemed a bit complicated and it was very confusing. It has a few similarities to Office Word yet at the same time it was totally a different experience. 

We had to ask our fellow classmates and Mrs. Sutter many questions at the beginning but with the time we got the hang of it and we were able to navigate the program on our own and finalize our post which are excited to share.

Regards,

Alexa & Cindy

Step 5: Reflection

Looking back on our project we think we did a great job. We chose a topic that interested us both yet it was a topic that we still got to learn a lot of new things about. Our Teamwork and communication worked flawless:)

We guess the hardest part was trying to come up with a concept on what our article/project should include because it is such a wide based topic.

Due to the coronavirus, an international collaboration could not take place yet instead we asked our close friends for their opinions and their experience. We also received the great opportunity to interview a managing director of a company that build tiny houses here in Switzerland.

We're very happy with the end result and we can't wait to share our post with many people worldwide.

Kind regards 

Cindy & Alexa

Step 5: Reflection - Interview

Recently, we were even lucky enough to receive the great opertunity to interview Mr. Schumacher who is the managing director of Polyloft. Polyloft is a company based here in Switzerland which develops and builds Tiny Houses. 

With this interview we got to know some new aspects and perspectives about the possible applications of Tiny Houses.

Below is our interview with Mr. Schumacher:

Step 3: Experience - Tiny House Movement

Unfortunately, we did not have the time to update you on our current position of our project in the last two weeks, because we have been completely busy with our interview.

Update December 16th 2020:

- On December 2nd 2020 we were able to conduct a very interesting and successful interview with Mr. Schumacher from the company Polyloft.

Our next steps are:

Kind regards,

REMINDER -=>Categories are the bones of The Horse

Exciting projects in the context of city climate & city trees are in development or "growing"; each project team as well as all collaboration teams get their own category. Here you collect all material, text, media, etc. for sharing with others and later for your publication on the website dontwastemy.energy.

The journey of discovery is underway!

Step 2: Research - Tiny House Living

First we asked ourselves if tiny House Living exists in Switzerland.

And to our surprise the answer was yes!
We Found two companies in Switzerland that specialize in tiny house living. Check out their websites:  

We're planing on getting in contact with them to ask them some questions about their point of view in the tiny house movment. (Interview)  More...
