In June 2016 I was keynote speaker at What Design Can Do. My lecture was called ‘Salty Water, Sweet City’.
What Design Can Do showcases design as a catalyst of change and renewal and promotes it as a way of addressing the societal questions of our time. The story is told through the annual conference in Amsterdam, additional conferences in other parts of the world, the worldwide What Design Can Do Challenge, as well as their own publications and the WDCD blog. This year I was also part of the selection committee for the Refugee Challenge.

De jaarlijkse Week van de Stad heeft dit jaar (5 t/m 9 nov. 2014) als thema de Ring rond Amsterdam. Na de Singelgracht en de A10 heeft de hoofdstad ongemerkt een nieuwe ringweg gekregen: de A11. Nu nog een samenraapsel van stukjes A1, A2, A5, A9 en A10 – maar als het allemaal straks de A11 heet kan de A10 een stadsboulevard worden. Read the article…
