Lilith van Assem, Elsbeth Ronner and Lieke van Hooijdonk (the whole management of Lilith Ronner van Hooijdonk architects) was our guest on the last Monday in July. Approximately 24 hours before the deadline Europan13 they have the patience to talk about their practice and the discipline architecture.

With great enthusiasm and intelligence they develop intimate private spaces and public collective places. Research, teaching and writing belong also to their expertise. In everything they do, the story of the central task is their focus. Their attention to the subject is intensely. Their inspiration is large. An almost old-fashioned way of working for an office that exists only five years. But after tonight we know that this is not the case.

The three architects trying to find new resources to join previous value of the architectural profession. At the same time they separate with thorough knowledge and expertise currently fashionable trends of real valuable developments in the profession. Recent discussions about the city, the program and the process seems particularly to exist to provide talking about architecture. According Lilith, Elsbeth and Lieke, the debate among architects again just go about architecture.

The food and the entourage at the restaurant De Engel did not match with our guests. Attention to the interior has been there for years anymore. Dedication to the dishes was very disappointing.
