Ellen Schindler (Business Director at Kossman de Jong) and Machteld Kors (Associate Director Communications UNStudio) were our guests for Souper 39. Architecture as business was the topic of the evening and both ladies knew us to explain how you should operate as national and international design agency. Machteld studied art history and Ellen did the art academy. So they both have no real background in communications and commerce, and yet the agencies are so successful at this moment. PR and communications agencies can learn from their approach.

For the first time the Souper was at restaurant Wereldmuseum. The five course dinner was delicious. Here we certainly frequently dine.

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.
