This is a discussion space / list of ideas about how to structure the new Hackspace according to the needs of the subgroups.
Music Hackspace
- Regular activities of the group include presentations/talks, performances, workshops.
- Group member's produce sound/music and installations, build their own instruments and also work in sound&visuals/image projects.
In terms of layout this would ideally imply that in the new space it is possible to:
- Use the main workshop for building instruments/devices.
- Use a space/room/area for organising workshops. A quiet and spacious area/room with light, tables, chairs, projectors, speakers. This space would be also useful for other subgroups/members who organise workshops.
- Use a space/room/area for talks/presentations. This space would be also useful for other subgroups/members who organise talks/presentations.
- Have a Sound Studio for music/sound projects/rehearsals.
- Have an Open Space/Plato. This space would ideally be empty, with white walls and located next to the sound studio (or together with it?). It would allow to set up/test installations and performances that involve working with video/image/sound/music/interactivity/screens. As an empty/clear area it could be also used as a photo/video studio/plato (for instance: shootings, stop motion, streaming projects...). This space would be also useful for other subgroups (VideoHackspace, NotJustArduino, Graphics?)
NJA and General Electronics
- Regular activities of the group include presentations/talks, workshops.
- Group member's build their own devices or projects and also work/hack various devices.
In terms of layout this would ideally imply that in the new space it is possible to:
- Have an Space/Environment equipped to work on electronics whilst the existing workbench is well equipped multiple work station's with power supplies and solder station would be great
- Have an bespoke for parts and tools to be stored in (possibly colour coded to ensure a bit more consistency with organisation
- Use of a space/room/area for talks/presentations.
- Have an Open Space/Environment to interact with all the other groups
Biohackers
- We would ideally like to have our own room which we can get certified by the H&S executive to do GM work. If no room is available we'd like to earmark an area, which we could enclose at some later date.
- We'd like the room to have a proper door, ventilation (as would be running freezers 24/7 which would get the place hot), and running water.
- Ideally size of the current quiet room, so we would have enough space for our kit, and would be able to host workshops / classes in there for 10 people or so.
