Recepten voor Rampspoed – Symposium en boeklancering

In Recepten voor Rampspoed you get to know three current disaster scenarios in Amsterdam: stubborn mould in Amsterdam-Noord, neighbourhood-based resilience in Nieuw-West, and the risks of building in Haven-Stad. During the opening symposium at Arcam on Friday 13 November at 15:00, three Architects in Residence teams share their research into these current challenges that affect Amsterdam. Together we explore how designers, administrators and residents can deal with loss, uncertainty and change, and which new frameworks for action emerge from this. We close the afternoon with the launch of the lesson book Een Optimistisch Rampenplan – containing all the lessons from two years of fieldwork – designed by What The Studio. Following this, they will engage in conversation with each other and the audience about responsibility, grief and new frameworks for action for designers, administrators and residents. Accessibility: Arcam is wheelchair accessible.
