2015 : one third of the world’s population lives in a city
long distance traffic speeds up,
(short distance traffic slows down)
People move faster, cities mix cultures
The city as the interface between people
Cultural mingling becomes important for cities of all scale
as a trendy branding-item, but also in reality
we believe in cosmopolitan city structures
in open ended thinking
the wonderful world introduces what we don’t know yet
The building embodies different characters
People move faster, the needs evolve rapidly, families often change
we consider buildings to be open ended + a (self-) expressing infill
the amazing life anticipates what we don’t know yet
