Ohanda One is an utopian vision for a zero emission ocean vessel and research platform hosting 150+ people sailing in a near future. Ohanda One is about open science, open software & hardware, open data and formats, curiosity and utopia. Onboard, each individual will be a part of a greater collaborative team, and besides their own topics, work together towards the sustainability goals. We work together, we make food and eat together, we relax together. There are no passengers. The first iteration, Ohanda One .01 or the “shiplet” is a 1:100 working scale prototype of the ship, but also just a symbol for the greater plan and bigger picture. The workshop is about the ideation and dreaming of the full scale platform and how to get there. It may include these topics:
- Self-sustaining systems: How to improve self-sustainability for life on board the ship (bio-sphere)?
- Green tech: How can we improve the ship design (hydrodynamics, sailing/drive, energy consumption/production, material, etc.)?
- Social life: co-existence and collaboration on board – what are the rules for the social life on board? What are the duties and freedoms in that shared space, how to agree on that, what power structures are needed and how and by whom are they executed?
- Design: What are the assumptions for the vessel design, how would we imagine the interior design, what are the fundamental requirements? What could cabins and social and work spaces and labs look like?
- Toolchain: What are the free/libre open source tools and data formats we need to “open source” the entire process – from ideation to operation?
- Ownership and funding: What ownership structure would we prefer? Where does the money come from? co-op vs. company?
- Project admin and continuity: What are the next steps for a roadmap towards Ohanda.One? Who’s in charge?
