Combining my dual education to the full extent: As an architect (TU Delft master of architecture) and a primary school teacher (pedagogical academy/ PABO) I have designed spaces to play & meet for over 17 years. Always with different great partners. Driven by the right of children to play, worldwide.
Turning spaces into community places for all, to play, to move, to learn, to meet, is not a one man’s job. We design together with the community, with local architects, with children and students, and with amazing partners.
Our international projects are very diverse, all with the same goal: enabling children – and their surroundings – to advocate for their right to play, and to take action for it. Ranging from pop-up initiatives, to school participation projects, community workshops, co-construction sessions and architects’ trainings.
In The Netherlands we have designed over a hundred playspaces both in urban settings and in parks: many greened ‘rainproof schoolyards’, many inclusive playspaces at special needs schools or in public space.
In designing and leading custom made participation processes, we combine my experience in education & design.
Together we make SPACE FOR PLAY.
