The official Vision Included Launch Event marks the start of our collective design practice.
We are an interdisciplinary and internationally engaged practice that pro-actively engages in contemporary design discourse; designing the conditions of life. It is specialized in the field of architectural and urban (research)-projects. It will reverse the traditional architecture practice that re-actively follows market trends, towards a pro-active, socially responsible entrepreneurship that defines it's own unique market and is trend setting.

BK 7210 Examples and imagination in Rotterdam Zuid– ir. Els Betjornvorn
Ìý
This document is a lecture on examples and imagination in Rotterdam-Zuid by Els Bet. It provides a cultural-historic exploration of pre-war neighborhoods in Rotterdam-Zuid through chronology maps, examining the layers of the polder landscape, harbour city and urbanization over time. It analyzes the spatial characteristics that emerged from the area's history as a polder landscape with dikes and basins, then as a harbour city with its zoning and architecture scaled for industry. The document explores the inner structure of neighborhoods through their weave lines, knots and public spaces.
The document summarizes key lessons learned from a study tour of new developments in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. In Amsterdam, high-density new housing has doubled the population while maintaining quality street surfaces. Simple construction and complex facades have reduced costs. Balconies attract families while social housing caters to a range of households. In Vathorst, Amersfoort, connectivity and mixed uses were prioritized from the beginning. A diversity of builders, housing types, and community facilities help create a vibrant, appealing place. In Rotterdam, redeveloping former docklands with iconic architecture and cultural attractions has transformed the city's image.
The document discusses a Social Impact Bond program in Rotterdam called the Buzinezzclub that aims to reduce unemployment among youth. The Buzinezzclub provides business education, personal development assistance, and help with personal problems to unemployed youth over 4-6 months. It is funded through an initial investment in 2014-2015 of €300,000 to help 80 youngsters each year, with future profits shared between investors and the city based on the employment rates and reduced welfare costs achieved. An independent auditor, Deloitte, measures the results before and after participation to determine actual savings to the city government from reduced welfare payments.

Fiscal relations across levels of government and regional disparitiesOECD Governance
Ìý
This document summarizes research on the relationship between fiscal decentralization and regional disparities. The key findings are:
1) Tax decentralization and higher fiscal authority are associated with lower regional disparities, especially for lower income regions, by stimulating sub-national governments to implement more pro-growth policies.
2) Revenue decentralization and higher vertical fiscal imbalances are linked to higher regional disparities.
3) The impact of fiscal decentralization on disparities depends on factors like countries' levels of development and quality of government institutions. Decentralization seems to reduce disparities more in developed countries with higher-quality government.
BK 7210 Urbanism Rotterdam and the Delta – ir. Han Meyerjornvorn
Ìý
This document summarizes a lecture on urbanism in Rotterdam and the Dutch delta region. It discusses the historical development of the delta through land reclamation and interventions to manage flooding, including the construction of dike rings and delta works projects. It also summarizes several student projects proposing new plans and interventions for the region, such as reinforcing dikes, creating new green-blue structures in Rotterdam, and developing outer dike areas as an archipelago. The lecture provides historical context on Rotterdam's development as a port city and how the region has been shaped by interactions with water through silting, erosion, and damming over the centuries.
BK 7210 Urban plan typology Rotterdam Zuid – ir. Evelien Brandesjornvorn

Thousands of organizations in both the public and private sectors have incorporated geographic information system (GIS) technology into their daily operations. As the ten case studies in this e-book illustrate, the uses for this technology continue to evolve at a rapid rate.
This document discusses strategies for helping small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in various sectors internationalize, including wine, furniture, mechatronics, information and communications technology, green technology, and logistics services. It recommends collective approaches to exporting, anchoring SMEs in new sectors, ensuring international competitiveness, creating internationalized clusters, exploiting opportunities from digitalization, creating an internationalized environment, and integrating regional strategies.
A non-financial cost-benefit analysis of INSPIREsmespire
Ìý
The document discusses a non-financial cost-benefit analysis of INSPIRE and opportunities for SMEs. It notes that while cost-benefit analyses of INSPIRE have found returns on investment ranging from 1:2 to 1:10, the economic benefits are extremely difficult to calculate. However, general agreement is that the initiatives are worthwhile. The document also suggests that benefits will profoundly improve public administrations and produce further significant indirect benefits for SMEs beyond just INSPIRE through positive feedback loops. Clear communication is needed to help maximize the impact.

The document discusses managing urban flood risk through technical solutions like managed flooding systems and amphibious housing. It notes that flood safety has value for businesses, culture, identity, and politics. Managing flood risk requires balancing technical, practical, economic, cultural and political needs. The value of climate safety lies in recycling infrastructure, a sense of belonging, entrepreneurship, and flexible ownership. True management of flood risk engages citizens and encourages bottom-up solutions through co-creation and inspiring visions of a safe future.
The document discusses a conference on urbanism beyond neo-liberalism. It focuses on the need for more sustainable urban design and development strategies that consider public values and shared desires. It presents a case study of a neighborhood redevelopment project in Amsterdam that used communication strategies like home visits and resident planning to incorporate community values and facilitate collective use of public spaces.
