About the Think Tank Project

TTP / FBTC and FPAC are networked with SPARC-SPAET-SPATH-SPOCA-SEMOL-SUTOL
After sketching the topic HOUSING in three publications (Housing, Population and Housing, Systems and Housing), TTP is now entering a new phase.
Although the topic of communication and information has been treated in various essays over the years, experience has also been gained with contemporary techniques, but now the problems arising from the cultural model and its inter-dependencies, as well as system considerations on general housing meed to be discussed.
There are misunderstandings from small groups to large groups, and it is more than a miracle that an exchange is possible at all.
It is not only the basic communication, which is a problem.
If one were to orient oneself towards Wittgenstein (which one is not supposed to talk about, one has to be silent about it), then hardly any communication and information should be taking place.
In the assumption of better understanding, new terms are invented, which instead of closer definition create still new questions and thus new answers with new terms and for improvement with the same, similar or different concepts or ideas.
Already the analogue exchange of ideas on earth is more than problematic, but when the digital exchange comes into play with additional time or distance factors, then arise the real problems!
Housing in the closed system is the protection, the material protection, - the immateriality that demands the traditional humanity!

Not a Think Tank
Wednesday, October 14, 2015
Think tanks are not a new discovery. The first think tank (TT) in the new times was established under president Theodore Roosevelt. People say, he must have been very successful, because nobody knew how little knowledge was at the back of his success. In spite of that, the thought and the pressure to TTs, has flourished.
In earlier times analogue sort of TTs were present, so one could absolutely call the arrangements at the court and palaces of Carl the Great under the scholar Alkuin as such TTs. We know in hindsight, how effectively they worked and had positive effects in the Carolingian kingdom.
As we strive as far as possible for a Both-and situation instead of an Either-Or situation, we would like to describe a structure, mostly virtual in nature and independent of personal influences of all types, because here we do not work with well defined work places and budgets.
At the lowest level, we have actively engaged NGOs in different countries, for example AFA, from which valuable experiences can be collected. (z.B. AFA).
Many NGOs have developed deep rooted structures, which deal with a product or a group of people (for example WAC)
At another level new societies were formed, which understood themselves as supporting institutions working in the cultural arena (for example SPARC).
A deeper version, specially connecting to academic institutions with their theoretical potential, led to so called -independent institutes-, in which practical work and theoretical research takes place (for example IEC).
These institutes make use of their contacts and cooperate with universities to and make it possible for students to involve themselves practically with the projects of the NGO (for example FPAC).
The drawing shows the virtual, intangible character of the model, which -if we are able to show the various inter-dependencies in it- reminds rather of a ball of wool, which is not easy to see through and if cut in the middle, it is useless. Seen as a closed system as a whole, creativity and innovation are already an integral part of it because the model is adjusted to the nature and its diversity as compared to a central authority which is unaware of the world outside.

The Think Tank Idea Taking Shape
The project, lets call it NWFTT-Project, stands for North West Fjord Think Tank Project, is absolutely unique in its concept. It is symbolically covered under the domain of Uni-Centre-WF.
In the first phase, experts will be invited to come at their own cost and support will be provided to them for local boarding and lodging as well as the working environment with digital networking facilities.
In recognition of their services, the experts will be considered Guest-Professors.
Contrary to the traditional Think Tanks, the objective here is not the material existence of its own building, with staff and income generation measures, but rather the virtual work, digitally up to date and connected worldwide.

Unique Item vs. Industrial Production
Saturday, September 26, 2015
Norbert Pintsch, Boris Bjoernsteinn
As soon as the infrastructure allows it, manufacturing of various
items of daily use but also handicrafts are started to be produced
through industrial methods.
The argument here is normally: It must be worthwhile to produce the
item, this refers to the economic level, which has and must have its
short term and short sighted approach to problem resolution
The cultural aspect here is totally ignored, because an evaluation of
something neither tangible nor calculable is hardly possible.
This dilemma is clearly visible in the development of share prices.
They increase in totality according to general situation, because
they represent the industrial production. It does not reflect the
destruction of resources and the environmental damage, on which it is
based.
As a graphical depiction, the industrial growth can be put in
comparison to the loss of resources.
Regarding manufacturing of unique pieces and requirement of the
customers to purchase something very individual, the comparison would
be with the estimated loss of the ability to manufacture the piece of
handicraft.
Why should a unique piece be manufactured at a higher cost, if it can
be manufactured industrially in a much larger quantity,- so the
opinion and expectation of the purchasers.
In the field of the art market, runaways from the artistic scene
suggest a demand for the items with unique characteristics. The
specialty has a price. Participation in its production creates
imitators, so the price continues to slide downward and withy that
also the value.
This phenomena is actually not a phenomena but rather a result of the
economic oriented approach.
Work places, resources, cultural values are regulated in this way and
cause damage in social and political field.
It is remarkable, how little attention is given to the effects and causes.
The industrial product with a logo has a higher value as compared to
the unique product, especially then, when it is not communicated
industrially.
The possibility of marketing unique items and small series is made
difficult and obstructed through certification sectors, which in the
context of value addition suggest safety, environmental protection and
work protection.
Result is, that the unique product gradually falls away from
perception for financial reasons through the missing value addition.
The special thing is, that the richness of culture of a country
gradually disappears.
Innovation and creativity are promoted, but limited due to economic arguments.
The connections between climate, environment and culture are lost in
the process of globalization. The forgotten and the lost differences
however remain.
