The last Monday in April had a diner with Robert van Kats (BKVV architects) and Martin Sobota (CITYFÖRSTER architecture + urbanism) in restaurant Huson. Both look far into the future and leave the BRIC countries behind and focus on the African continent. It was an interesting evening about making architecture and doing business in exotic places. There are surprisingly many opportunities in different African countries, but to get to work and to realize buildings requires a lot of patience and a special approach.

Daan Bakker (Daf-architecten), Jeroen de Willigen (DeZwarteHond), Jasper de Haan (architect) and I invite each month a number of colleagues to eat, drink and discuss about our profession, the city of Rotterdam and related matters.
