Lezing
Lecture Vertical Urban Factory door Nina Rappaport
Opening van de tentoonstelling HOE WILLEN WIJ WERKEN M4H 2030
Amerikaanse architectuurcriticus, curator, docente en consultant Nina Rappaport opent de tentoonstelling ‘HOE WILLEN WIJ WERKEN IN M4H 2030’ met een lezing.
Zij leidt de denktank ‘Vertical Urban Factory‘ die de brug legt tussen academisch onderzoek en praktijkgericht advies over stedelijke productie en de waarde van maakindustrie voor steden. Daarbij ligt de focus op het blijvend gebruik van oude industriële sites en manieren om de productieruimtes voor de toekomst te bouwen. De tentoonstelling Vertical Urban Factory is de hoofdtentoonstelling van de overkoepelende expositie in de KeileZaal die op 3 juni opent en tot en met 14 juli de plek zal bieden aan diverse workshops en lezingen op het gebied van de circulaire economie.
