Elke woensdag ben ik tussen 10 en 11 uur te gast in het KRO NCRV radioprogramma De Ochtend op Radio 1 om actuele ontwikkelingen op het gebied van architectuur en stedelijk leven te bespreken. Vandaag: ontwerpwedstrijden voor vluchtelingen leveren veel ideeën op over tijdelijke huisvesting en diensten en producten om vluchtelingen ‘a home away from home’ te bieden.
On June 30 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.
