What if Lab

Join us on 12 November at 4 PM (GMT+7) for an online Q&A session about What if Lab: Sustainable Society! In our third collaboration with Erasmus Huis Jakarta, we’re seeking organisations with pressing issues that impact sustainability. Is your organisation dedicated to creating a greener, healthier, fairer, and more sustainable Indonesia? Do you have a complex question that could benefit from innovative design solutions? We’d love to explore a partnership with you! If you’ve reviewed the briefing but still have questions, sign up for the Q&A by emailing [email protected] #indonesia #opencall #sustainability #whatiflab #innovation #design #solutions Marleen Kokke-Jansen Playo Jaef de Boer Oxalis Atindriyaratri

New open call! 📣 This time, we’re not looking for designers, but for a collaborative partner. Is your organisation actively working towards making Indonesia greener, healthier, fairer, more sustainable, and/or future-proof? Do you have a challenge or complex problem that requires fresh creative perspectives? If so, we would love to collaborate with you! A team of designers will approach your challenge through research and analysis, community engagement, interactive workshops, and concept presentations. They will help you develop innovative solutions. Together, we will build strong international partnerships between the Netherlands and Indonesia, share creative strategies for sustainable development, and showcase the results in prominent exhibitions.

Floris Schoonderbeek in De wereld van Dutch Design (VPRO) episode 1 about food. There is a lot of waste in the food industry, and intensive livestock farming also faces challenges. How can things be done differently and better? In the Netherlands, we mainly eat one type of carrot nowadays, even though hundreds of varieties are available at the Dutch seed bank. In this episode, you will see Daan Overgaag, Floris Schoonderbeek, and Fides Lapidaire. Daan Overgaag has planted various forgotten crops in his garden and cooks on the spot with what he harvests. © Floris Schoonderbeek has developed the concept of 'circle farming' in What if Lab: Totally Local with Sweco: strips of different crops in a circular shape. The spaces between these circles can be used for other purposes, such as housing or forestry. Fides Lapidaire has developed a circular product that enhances the quality of human waste, which in turn can improve soil quality. Watch the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/gWG9USTd Visit CircleFarming in Klokgebouw at Ketelhuisplein and see the circles come to life.

What happens to wind turbines when they reach the end of their technical lifespan? Vattenfall asked this question to the four participating design studios in What if Lab: Upcycled Turbines. Studio Carbon, Superuse, cepezed and Interactivist came up with surprising solutions, from art to living space. Visit Dutch Design Week to see the concepts come to life. Or watch the video first to hear about the concepts from the designers themselves. https://lnkd.in/eHpEWWHf Video: Blickfänger Designers: Chris Kievid Lars van Vianen Itika Gupta Jos de Krieger Jasper Manders Sonja Draskovic

What if... stations were more than a place to wait for trains? Studio Kornelia Dimitrova and Massif Architects teamed up with Sweco in What if Lab: The Giving City to develop a new vision for station areas. Come to Klokgebouw at Strijp-S during Dutch Design Week to see the vision! Can't wait? Read about it first:

In What if Lab: The giving city, three design studios teamed up with Sweco to design for tomorrow's regenerative city. If we want a sustainable and social future for cities, we need to rethink how we organise, build and inhabit urban environments. Sweco believes that the city of the future is a city that gives back; by providing more than it asks for, allowing people and nature to live together in harmony. How do the participating design studios Volle Grond, Fides Lapidaire and Studio Kornelia Dimitrova x Massif Architects design that city? Find the developed concepts here! https://lnkd.in/eSXz3Enk During Dutch Design Week you will find the presentations of these concepts in Klokgebouw at Strijp-S.
