			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.alexthinks.com/images/Wynwood-Lofts.jpg" alt="Wynwood Lofts" style="float:right; margin-left:20px; border:0">As you drive down Biscayne Blvd in Miami, Florida you will run into the Art District with Galleries, Boutiques and amazing wall art and graffiti. Here is where Ali Wadsworth has taken the lead and started the first <b>Miami Coworking Community Workspace – Brikolodge</b>. The coworking space is located at the Wynwood Lofts &#8211; 250 NW 23rd St Miami, Fl 33127. Wynwood Lofts is characterized as a pet-friendly, sophisticated, urbane, chic enclave for artists, writers, photographers and entrepreneurs. I had the chance to visited the coworking space last night when it was launched at a meet-up for <a href="http://refreshmiami.org/" target="_blank">RefreshMiami</a>.</p>
<p>Brikolodge is borrowed from the French word &#8220;bricolage&#8221;. Bricolage as a design approach – in the sense of building by trial and error – is often contrasted to engineering: theory-based construction. A person who engages in bricolage is a bricoleur: someone who invents his or her own strategies for using existing materials in a creative, resourceful, and original way.</p>
<p>Ali has really been extremely motivated to get this started and already has one desk rented out. The potential of <a href="http://brikolodge.wordpress.com" target="_blank">Brikolodge</a> is obvious the minute you walk in. There are many additional lofts available in the same building for the coworking space to grow. Right now the current loft is around 1200 sq ft. This space will have 5 resident desks (for about $400 a month), 8-10 shared desk spaces which would go for about $250 a month. The lofts have concrete flooring, tall ceilings, and lots of windows. There are other creative agencies in the same building and also a few art galleries and studios as well. They even have a pool on the roof.</p>
<p>If you know someone who would be interested in a joining the coworking community, please forward this information and <a href="mailto:coworkingmiami@gmail.com?Subject=Interested in Brikolodge">contact Ali Wadsworth</a>. The space is are moving quickly, the lease was signed a week ago and they already have desks set up and internet access. They are building a conference center, with a large table and chairs, but the logistics of the presentation capabilities are yet to be determined. There will be someone at the office at all times to &#8220;manage&#8221; the facility and be under some level of &#8220;surveillance&#8221;. Overall, I was very impressed. Great job, Ali!</p>
