Its founders, Marco Clausen, Elizabeth Calder\u00f3n L\u00fcning, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.potatoperspective.org\/page20\/page20.html\">\u00c5sa Sonjasdotter<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/anstiftung.de\/\">Foundation Anstiftung<\/a> came up with the idea of a local wifi network accessible only inside the garden.<\/p>\n<p>They collaborated with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.design-research-lab.org\/\">Design Research Lab<\/a> to build the \u201corganic internet\u201d, a local network attached to a physical construction, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nachbarschaftsakademie.org\/architektur\/\">Die Laube<\/a> (The Arbor), which hosts workshops, seminars and assemblies.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_37696\" style=\"width: 690px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/laube.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37696\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/laube.jpeg\" alt=\" The Laube, built inside the Prinzessinnengarten, is used also as a place for free expression in the city.

The local DIY networks make the productions available to those, and only those, physically present within the garden space, and the digital space becomes an integral part of the garden\u2019s identity.<\/p>\n<p>For the <a href=\"http:\/\/design-research-lab.org\/\">designers at UdK<\/a>, who have been involved in the project, this pilot is an opportunity to build hybrid spaces, and turn them into <a href=\"http:\/\/mazizone.eu\/toolkit\/\">toolkits<\/a> that will make it easier for technology to be appropriated by others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alternatives to global social networks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>DIY networking promotes physical proximity and inclusiveness. Tangibility and playfulness is another important aspect of the network: it is always there, hanging from a tree.<\/p>\n<p>These projects also require local people to take care of them, build trust, and make collective decisions around functionality and use. A DIY network can be even turned off from time to time.<\/p>\n<p>The projects are based on principles of replication, not growth: others can replicate the same idea in a different place by buying the cheap hardware (a <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/90103691\">Raspberry Pi<\/a>, wireless router, external hard disk and battery) and using <a href=\"https:\/\/selfhostedweb.org\/\">self-hosted software<\/a> for local services.
