If you read about the project, you would probably see that there was nothing easy about it. There were hundreds of volunteers and community members who got involved in making it happen with little to no budget. It took a few years to organize, and as I understand, some things like towing, were required by the government. It was quite a special thing. The day I was on I talked with two strangers (who had just met each other) working out the details of a new green business they were thinking of starting. I don' t know what any of you have done that has had as much impact, but I hope you have, too. I hope to see more projects like this in the future, but I understand being intimidated by the fact that a group of artists did what independent architects don't think that they should do. While the learning barge is an interesting project, it is completely different. From what I understand, it is stationary, a classroom (not a living space and an event space).
