Yesterday we had the first soupr of this year. The architect Joost Kühne (architectenburi Kühne & Co) and (re) developer Michon van der Salm (CODUM) were our guests. The enthusiasm and entrepreneurship of Michon and Joost is infectious. Both are very driven to transform non-places to residence and decrepit buildings into creative hotspots. This evening it becomes clear that traditional knowledge and skill of the architect is still valued and there is a new generation of developers who is clever and have good intentions with the city.

We have once again an excellent dinner at restaurant Huson . Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures.

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.
