Interesting point. Had it succeeded would the People's Pyramid have been the first example of crowd sourcing? At the least, the first crowd sourced construction project surely? I'm not sure a Kickstarter type effort would really replicate the original intent. If we pledged/bought a brick, it'd still be an anonymous brick amongst all the others that they (or whoever does the project) has delivered. I always thought that part of the point was that you'd have gone out and found your brick, you'd perhaps sign or decorate it in some way, you'd have an attachment to it. And then you'd post it to them, and you'd know that _your_ brick, the one you were holding several weeks ago, was there in the pyramid, making, by extension, the pyramid yours as well. It's was more personal than just a brick that you had paid for. Or, quite possibly, I read far more into it than I should have :) On 14 May 2013, at 09:51, Dj Hombre _ <djhombre@hotmail.com> wrote:
Hi all,
While daydreaming during a recent meeting I recalled the K2 Plant Hire "People's Pyramid" project idea from B&J. This all fell through because of the cost of posting a single brick (possibly among other issues).
I was wondering whether this would now be more achievable via something like KickStarter, where folk would only need to pledge a few dollars and they could 'own' a brick in the pyramid.
Of course the questions of location and construction would need to be addressed, but in theory, Kickstarter would now provide the ease of adoption for such a project...what do you guys reckon?
Maybe Bill might re-ignite this idea?
