Elke dinsdag ben ik voor het nieuws van 11 uur te gast in het KRO NCRV programma Spraakmakers op Radio 1 om actuele ontwikkelingen op het gebied van architectuur en stedelijk leven te bespreken. Deze week: steden in oost-Azië. Grote steden in China, zoals Shanghai of Hong Kong zijn zó volgebouwd dat er nauwelijks openbare ruimte meer over is.

Deze tegenstelling is mooi te zien in twee exposities die momenteel te zien zijn in Nederland.

This week, I spoke to futurologist Jeroen van Mastigt about how technology help us to find true love. And is having virtual sex for example considered as adultery? I went to fashion designer Anne de Grijff to have my first piece of custom clothing made, exciting! In the weekend, I went to the gallery Zone 2 Source in the Glazen Huis in the Amstelpark and spoke to director Alice Smits and artist Antii Tenetz about the latest exhibition about carthograpy.

Last week I was back in Barcelona to experience the election day. I went to Catalan voting stations and talked to the people there.

Also, I celebrated Christmas in Barcelona with a lot of great decorations and a delicious and enormous fish in salt crust. And we worked hard on a video to celebrate 30 years of the John Adams Institute.
