Description of the project
Please provide a summary of your project.
Positive Energy Park is an original concept project for obtaining green energy using modular adaptable polygons that can be optimized for any environment in the world, depending on the climate and local needs.
The defined polygon according to the available space is equipped with elements chosen from the collection, based on local needs and climate in the places where people need it most, which gives a sense of belonging in integration with the natural environment. The greatest quality of this original concept is the direct POSITIVE ENERGY of all generations of the local community, which through educational - sports - recreational ... activities through the offered modules will produce green electricity with their activities. The concept has been completed at the CONCEPT DESIGN level, and is ready for the next stage of development, which involves the selection of partners for development and production. It is logical that it should be one of the big
IT companies that are big consumers of green energy.
This primary - sample concept is optimized for a specific location - in Copenhagen - Denmark opposite the city center on an empty harbor polygon, but can be cloned in a different polygon shape and the constellation of elements anywhere in the world...
SUSTAINABILITY - Zero pollution, biodiversity with the inclusion of some animals, climate diversity, implementation anywhere on the planet, in rural areas, settlements in regression...

INCLUSION - of all ages of any local environment that enthusiastically gives its POSITIVE ENERGY through a wide range of programs from educational multidisciplinary and study programs, to sports, recreation, with interaction with nature.
AESTHETICS - a new attractive visual experience in smaller environments will be a positive challenge and inspiration to all generations to make a personal contribution to the community and local culture with more optimism and positive energy...

Please give information about the key objectives of your project in terms of sustainability and how these have been met. Please highlight how the project can be exemplary in this context.
The primary goal of this original concept is that it can be implemented World-Wide in almost any area of the world where it is not cost-effective to install large systems with wind generators, and solar panels. The modular base polygon can be adapted in terms of dimensions and shape wherever it is needed, and the optimal configuration of elements for that option can be selected from the Bank of Modules, according to the geographical position and climate. The concept is optimized for all types of activities of local community entities - education, sports, and recreation, with interactive inclusion ALL GENERATIONS of the local community, which strengthens togetherness and communication on the same task - the production of green electricity, which is the product of THEIR positive activities. The interaction of all generations of the local community is symbolically represented by a conical module with a chrome ball on top, which is illuminated by Green Laser Light from the city center as an ontological approach to human positive energy. The priority in this concept is people, all generations of the local community through valuing diversity with the aim of developing togetherness, and interaction on the same task of all generations. With the original concept of a modular variable polygon, it is absolutely unique in the world, and long-term sustainable. In addition, it is possible seasonally or due to school programs of educational units to replace the Modules occasionally, if necessary, which makes the concept maximally adaptable and adaptable. Such a creative solution will improve the life of smaller local communities around the world, where over time the PEP concept would be cloned, and the applied creative solutions will initiate them to creatively enrich life. Over time, when all generations of the local community emotionally integrate with the training ground, they will have positive emotions and a cultural jump. The PEP concept is absolutely clean with 0.00 % Co2!

Please give information about the key objectives of your project in terms of aesthetics and quality of experience for people (through design, positive emotions and cultural benefits) and how these have been met. Please highlight how the project can be exemplary in this context.
Positive Energy Park is designed as a variable modular complex of elements from the base, which are applied to an optimized polygon according to the available space of any size, anywhere in the world - wherever it is necessary and possible. It is especially interesting for environments where there is no regular electricity, and in my opinion, the most important quality of the unique concept is that all generations of the local community are involved in various programs, which they profile at the end of the current year for the next. There are educational-experimental elements, sports, recreation, etc...
The emphasis is on people and not technology because their POSITIVE ENERGY is the most important thing here, it is important that those initiated by the complex develop creative spirituality, which will result in harmony and spirituality. They are even in the displayed green triangle - polygon in module No. 006 Techno Wood, inserted white rabbits that should associate visitors with the existence of various types of energy... This multiplies the options of interactive integration of all generations of the local community and applied technology and concepts, but it does not end there - imagination has no limits... this means that an essential project has a beginning but no end. In practice, over time, the creative-active role of some subjects of the local community who have affinity will add new contents that will be able to be technologically followed. There is not a single green energy complex in the world that has moved so far away from clean technology and approached people's life principles.
The positive interactive synergy between the modular polygon complex and all generations of local community results in a unique new qualitative value, and in this, it is far ahead of conventional technical approaches.

Please give information about the key objectives of your project in terms of inclusion (ranging from accessibility and affordability for all to inclusive governing systems, design for all principles or new societal models) and how these have been met. Please highlight how the project can be exemplary in this context.
As I have already emphasized, the primary focus of the project is the inclusion of all ages of the population of the local community, which is in the vicinity of the complex. We can understand the concept by imagining that the primarily assumed complex of implemented HARDWARE modules, and the interactive inclusion of all generations of the local community, through a complex of experimental - educational, sports - recreational activities, is their desired SOFTWARE contribution, which can also be modified over time according to needs, season, etc... In other words, residents of all profiles of the local community are invited to use their active creative and physical contribution to make the project come to life, and more importantly, to be sustainable in the long term, which depends on them the most. When the hardware part of the concept is implemented in good quality at the start, in cooperation with representatives of the local community, a primary model will be set up, which is still always adaptable and suitable for corrections in any direction. We should not forget that free green electricity is obtained from all activities when they are in operation, and from certain modules also permanently, independent of interaction with people. Over time, PEP complexes will be implemented around the world, and each local community will profile its unique complex according to its needs, but the experiences will be transmitted interactively with other communities. This cooperation did not result in the finalization of the construction of the buildings, because it was a kind of competition for locating and researching suitable projects.

Please explain the way citizens benefiting from or affected by the project and civil society have been involved in the project and what has been the impact of this involvement on the project
Positive Energy Park is very adaptable and flexible in every respect. In addition to the fact that when designing a modular polygon containing a complex of modules, the configuration of the terrain, geographical location, and available natural resources are taken into account, while of course the needs of all generations of the local community are consulted, great attention is paid to the interactive involvement of the local community, by age and interest groups, affinities, abilities, etc... only when a complete overview of the situation is obtained, the project at that unique location is finished. And that's not all, all the time continuously after the activation, new proposals from segments of the local community are expected for some new activities, whether seasonal, sports-recreational activities, also educational activities through entertainment... A modular training ground, optimized for that particular environment is essentially a space for implementing the wishes of all the potential of the local community, which can be changed over time and supplemented with new content. The goal is for the interactive synergy of the polygon and the local community to evolve into a higher level of consciousness, and that is why this project is called the Positive Energy Park, so not only because of the production of electricity but because of the synergy - this is why this project is unique in the world.

Please explain how different stakeholders at various levels (local, regional, national, European) were engaged in the design and implementation of the project. Please highlight what the added value of their engagement was.
The basic contours of the concept were defined by an open invitation to design a complex for the production of green energy in Denmark - Copenhagen, and a location on an abandoned port dock of fixed dimensions was offered - that was the available space for designing the project. You can see what it looked like in several of the offered photos, and the space is located opposite the city center, on the sea coast. The project task was demanding and precise, but it also left a lot of space for creation. This CONCEPTUAL project is completely finished, and as such it must go in cooperation with large systems such as Ericson, Siemens... etc. because I do not deal with material production, and that is to come.

Please explain which disciplines and/ or knowledge fields were reflected in the design and implementation of your project. Please explain how representatives of these different fields interacted with each other, and what the added value of this process was.
There were no "representatives of different fields", because in Positive Energy Park I did everything myself, both the concept and the contributions. However, in the foreseeable future, this cooperation will certainly be necessary, primarily with electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, and architects...
The added value of this project is that I have a very clear picture, which once appeared to me at the moment, about the essence of the concept, priorities, and development ... so that the idea remains whole and coherent.

Please give information on the results, outcomes and impacts achieved by your project in relation to the category you apply for. This includes also benefits from the project for direct and indirect beneficiaries
Since I did the primary concept of the PEP project, I tended not to chase any opportunity, but patiently waited for the right opportunity to promote the project, such as this one for the application at the New European Bauhaus, which I have appreciated for a long time and even adopted personal promotion as a universal the principle of creative thinking "I'm drawing the Moon, and one line seems too many", which is basically the essence of the Bauhaus design philosophy.

Please highlight the innovative character of the project, when compared to mainstream actions in the field of the project
My tactical advantage compared to big systems and other re-creators is that I don't have mental-educational blocks and stereotypical frameworks, and I can move in all directions... this is also confirmed by the fact that I successively work in parallel on a dozen different creative Art - Design discipline.
Therefore, it was easy for me to conceive Positive Energy Park because I saw a chance to capitalize on several creative areas in one project, which is worth the challenge.
I don't want to sound overbearing, but there are so many development options that can be developed in the project continuum, and in many directions... Mainstream projects stick to the stereotype of a system of large fields of wind generators, or solar panels, which must be constantly wiped from dust and their service life is about seven years - besides, it is not for small and medium-sized complexes, which the Positive Energy Park modular polygon solves without problems.

Please describe the methodology or approach used in your project.
The basic principle is POSITIVE ENERGY, first mine, and then that it comes from the subjects of the local community, which is imperative, or from Modules from the bank of Modules that are optimized in their original formation for each location - which is why they are 100% adaptable, original, fresh, applicable and adaptable.

Please describe which elements of your project could be replicated or transferred to other places, groups of beneficiaries and context. This may involve for example aspects of the methodology, technology, processes, products, learnings etc.
Positive Energy Park is a 100% adaptable modular complex for any location in the world (wherever possible). The Ground modular polygon is adaptable to any available space, regardless of size, it forms the basis on which the desired selected Modules from the Module bank are "planted", in order to harmonize the function with the projected wishes and needs of all generations of the local community. In addition, part of the Module can be replaced with other Modules, which currently correspond to the projected needs of educational, sports, and recreational activities, in accordance with the annual and seasonal activity programs.

Please explain what kind of global challenges the project addresses by providing local solutions
Positive Energy Park was originally conceived as a global one, because it can be applied to almost any location in the world, regardless of size, terrain, etc... In this example, visual options with the use of flowing watercourses are not cited, which is, of course, feasible in the training ground and possibly in a very imaginative way. Now I don't see any competition for this project, and it won't happen anytime soon because otherwise, they would have to have my mental matrix.
