2009 Masterclass Transvaal, Amsterdam. Client: State architect Organisation, development and production of a master class on the topic of the so called problem area’s in the cities of the Netherlands. In these areas, often new towns outside the centre of Dutch cities, live the poor, and many immigrants in badly maintained urban areas. Different design and urban strategies were developed for these so called ‘Probleemwijken’ by a group of 30 young architects and 3 well know Dutch architecture offices. So far exhibitions and symposia (Dutch Architecture Institute, NAi) have taken place. Politicians, housing corporations, inhabitants, urban planners, architects and developers, participated in the debate on the future scenario’s developed in the master class. A publication is in preparation.

Client: State architect Researching what literature existed on the professionalization of the architect after their initial university degree. And development of an outline for a future publication on this matter and discussion, including documentation of the educational experience, the state architect initiated with the so called “het Experiment” expertise, in architecture.

2004 Project team workshop Terraventure. Development of the concept ”High-rise and fragment” for the workshop in Barcelona in collaboration with Terraventure and Wiel Arets (master of the workshop). The master class was a coproduction of the TU Delft and the ETSAB Barcelona and dealt with the question of living in the city and living in High-rise. Visiting critic was Acebillo who was in charge of the urban planning of Barcelona after Oriol Bohigas.
