All good things come to an end; RE-source is wrapping up 3 years of design research by the Places & Traces Lectorate at the DAE.
In the last three years we created presentations, exhibitions, education, a website, a movie, and a book. Central theme was the urgent matter of circular design in cities. How can we enter a RE-era? How can we RE-design residual material flows to avoid waste, in theory and in practice?
We are proud to mention that we won a Dutch Design Award with this project. Collaborating with a variety of institutions and people, we gathered insights that could fill a library. We feel our best way to celebrate is to share.
David Hamers, professor at the DAE Places & Traces Lectorate and project leader of RE-source, will host the evening. Ester van de Wiel, design researcher, will give a presentation. Ginette Verstraete (professor at VU Amsterdam), Manon van Hoeckel (designer) and Jos Klarenbeek (designer) will join for a conversation led by our host, David Hamers. Joost Adriaanse (researcher VU Amsterdam) will collect questions from the audience – you!
To wrap up a wonderful three years of this special project, we invite you all to come join us while we share our findings and highlights. After the event the book RE-source will be freely available to all.
We would love to see you all:
