Advisor Carol Hol (Concire - developer of area concepts) and lecturer/ researcher Tom Daamen (TU Delft - Architecture and the Built Environment - Real Estate and Housing) were our guests in the end of November. The theme of the evening was (the future of) integrated area development.

With the experience of Carol and the academic knowledge of Tom a broad spectrum of area development was covered. Stories versus figures. Attainability versus manufacturability. Both expertise are strangely enough needed for future small-scale developments. Errors from the past may not be repeated, and decisions are to be taken to the basis of transparent knowledge. We can conclude that in future projects program and tempo of development are issues and not profit economic maximization and a desired final image.

The Souper was at FG foodlabs located in Hofbogen, halfway ZOHO and Schieblock. Delicious food and new ways of developments are in any case well together.
