1010 Architecture Urbanism

The vision and proposals start from an optimistic starting point, a future perspective in which we assume: A spatial planning model in which nature, culture and infrastructure are not seen as opponents but as one ecological system;

• making the local economy more robust from a short-chain approach and looking for synergies with the demographic, social and cultural context;
• a mobility transition that shifts the focus from private cars to alternative modes of transport and shared mobility services;
• a housing policy in which legislators, designers and builders want to create a framework for more collective and hybrid forms and services of housing. Spatial development is always central to the research. However, the form of space is never approached as exclusively morphotypological, but as the result of complex, layered processes that underpin our society

The proposals and ideas have been tested to their potential during five guidance moments of the ‘Stadsatelier’ and during a workshop with employees of various city services (from October 2016 to April 2017).
