Dave Hakkens of Precious Plastics

Have you heard of Dave Hakkens?

no? Well you need to.

Dave is a machine, not like a real machine(he makes those), but an ideas machine. The most import thing about Dave is that he is a machine that works, and works hard...

Since graduating cum laude at the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2013 ( and creating PhoneBloks as his graduation project) he has just kept on creating.

The prolific rate with which Dave churns out projects is phenomenal. He has designed a wind powered oil press, a soap solution, an edible pen and many more old projects.

His Current(ish) Projects are equality fascinating

The thing I love about Dave is that he is a true open source eco warrior without the bullshit. He finds a cause, creates a plan and gets the job done. Then shares it with the world in well documented videos, plans and websites.

One Project at a time, Dave and the people around him are changing the world, with the help of... the world.

So I am happy to say that I will be spending my weekends and evenings following his step by step guides to creating a plastic recycling business. So if you have any spare plastic, time and or money shoot me an email.

Alistair Parvin of WikiHouse I remember the first time I saw Alistair Parvin's Ted talk. It spoke to me about so much more than architecture. His talk took me through trends, history and spoke to me about human consumption. It spoke to me about an element of society that seems to have been forgotten, a true sense of community. Most of all, it told me that there was a better way. A way that does not involve the need for more. The Ted Talk About WikiHouse - From https://wikihouse.cc/about Wikihouse is an open source project to reinvent the way we make homes. It is being developed by architects, designers, engineers, inventors, manufacturers and builders, collaborating to develop the best, simplest, most sustainable, high-performance building technologies, which anyone can use and improve.
