Welcome @ The Beach

New perspectives on social and organizational issues are urgently needed. In our search for traces and contours of the new social landscape we meet people who are committed and work together to find answers to 'big questions' in society. Along with these creative thinkers and makers The Beach views and explores new routes. Shaping new meanings, making new connections and organization of active participation is the core of what we do.

What does the emerging culture of “sustainism” mean for the local?

Localism in New York

This new cultural vision was presented at the BMW Guggenheim Lab in New York by Michiel Schwarz. In a co-creation session that took a truly integral approach to urban life and the future—in which sustainability, localism, social connectivity, and globalization meet—participants formulated new principles for the sustainist era. As the new ethos of our time, sustainism will shape everything from design, food, and our environment to consumption, community, and our sense of place.
