ECONOMICAL INTERACTIONS
The project is economically feasible through a combination of crowd and public funding.
The basic economical strategy is to sell each wooden block of the Cave to the public. By buying one or several blocks you become a backer of the project and help realize the public space. In return you get to decide the motive of your own block/blocks, which will be milled on the surface of the wood. It can be anything from the picture of your newborn baby, your crew’s tag or your company’s logotype. These customized blocks together create the major part of the buildings façade.
This strategy not only helps gather money for the project but more importantly includes the public in the building in a very physical way giving them extra motivation to visit the Cave.
A similar strategy has been adapted to realize the project I MAKE ROTTERDAM , a bridge which is currently gathering backers to help realize the project.
