Regenerating the City - Architectural and Urban strategies for inner-city redevelopment. Subscription for Graduation Studio open (via Explore Lab).
Dealing with complexity. Many districts in Rotterdam and other European cities face complex social-economical issues. Making a design for a regeneration area demands a deep understanding of this complexity. How do social, physical and economical conditions relate to design? What about existing social structures? And how to deal with cultural heritage? And the people?
Interaction, research & design. At Veldacademie you get in touch with everyday life on site. Our studio is situated in one of Rotterdam’s regeneration area’s on the south bank. Here you will experience intense interaction with inhabitants, municipality, housing corporations, real estate developers and other stake holders. Veldacademie also cooperates with other academic institutes such as Erasmus University, Department of Sociology. Veldacademie facilitates students fascinated by interdisciplinary research and design, and willing to work with real people, actually contributing to the sustainable improvement of the city of Rotterdam.
