We invite the landscape architects Saline Verhoeven (Bureau B +B urban design and landscape architecture) and Peter Veenstra (LOLA Landscape Architects) to discuss the public domain. On Monday, July 25 they both talked freely and very enthusiastic about their office and projects. Landscape architects have a number of properties which they can survive in this difficult time. The relationship between research and practice is obvious and still very strong. And they have a proper way to control long-term and complex design and implementation processes. A nice craftsmanship.

We found the Park (next to the Euromast), designed by Zocher, a suitable setting to eat with our guests. Restaurant Harbour Club in Villa Park View was a less good idea.

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.
