Highly Unusual Space Usage Survey (2022 PPAC)

JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

This survey is an attempt by earnest guildmates [initially Jerone and Dave, with support from Yuko and Max] to get people's HONEST feedback and HONEST hopes/dreams and needs/desires for our shared workspace/lifespace (aka the guildhall, 424, Prime Produce, the guild, etc.)

The aim is to gather vivid impressions and reflections and produce a range of ideas to build on and engage with, rather than to attempt a quantified description of the community’s disposition.

It is constructed with an aspiration to be inclusive, expansive, generative and specific enough for us to enact collaborative volitions in a meaningful time frame.

This all comes from a position that our shared space and our community co-create each other and are interdependent To talk about the physical space and the things within it must also be to talk about the people operating with them.

The community and space are interdependent

There are some general questions followed by a short set of questions relating to each part of our guildhall. Please don't hold back and give your most candid responses. Don't worry, we ARE READY FOR ANYTHING.

PS. This is anonymous, if you want. You can share your identity if you're open to follow up conversations. However, please note that it is our intention to make the results open to the cooperative (i.e., members and residents).

PPS. This is designed to be respectful of your time -- no more than 30 minutes, unless you feel compelled to really dig in. Every question is OPTIONAL; just fill out whatever speaks to you!

THANK YOU!
