Monday we were a bunch of privileged boys. Our charming dinner guests Gus Tielens (korth tielens architecten) and Martine de Wit (DUS architecten) came especially for us all the way from Amsterdam.

Restaurant Huson this trip is worth it alone. During our delicious meal we tried to analyze the Amsterdam architecture scene. Many issues, institutions and individuals are reviewed. We have heard many enthusiastic stories and a single critical remark. Enthusiasm about Rotterdamis a good start. We have immediately begun.

In between there was a quiz. Lyrics of a several Dutsh sentimental songs were performed. To us, the task to guess in which city its singer was. A very difficult task and the conclusion is that the cities are sung in the same way.

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.
