Girls aged 9 to 11 are increasingly absent from public spaces, a remarkable phenomenon highlighted by recent research. What's causing this? This ongoing research project explores the city through the eyes of its youngest residents to develop new design perspectives for the livable city of the future
Playing outside, the core business of childhood
A mini-documentary and a visual exploration give a first insight into the blind spots we have when designing public spaces. An eye-opener for everyone involved in urban planning. Housing corporations, municipalities, (landscape)architects, and youth organizations are challenged to join us in taking responsibility for the livable environment of the future in the ever-growing city.
In collaboration with Heembouw
With her approach called 'experience architecture,' Renee Scheepers won the first edition of the Ruud van Berkel Award, an incentive prize initiated by Heembouw Architects. An annual incentive prize that rewards innovative architecture and architectural innovation. This award recognizes and celebrates groundbreaking ideas that transform the construction and design sectors. Serving as a platform for progress, the Ruud van Berkel Award offers an opportunity for budding entrepreneurs, innovators, and designers to realize and develop their cutting-edge concepts in their own experimental environment. It provided the foundation for developing this new research project based on her own vision.
