The pressure on housing is enormous in the Brainport Region. In order to cope with the demand, accelerating the construction task seems to be the solution. But is that really the case? How does densification affect the livability of the city? How to ensure that green spaces and other quality remain?
Living LAB 040
The Living LAB 040 is an experimental building site in the neighboorhood ‘Buurtschap te Veld’. Here we gradually develop and exhibit new housing concepts, industrial designs, mobility concepts, spatial designs, etc.
During the DDW we will open our location to the public in order to inspire and debate on the import challenges we face, susch as social cohesion in neihgbourhoods, health, new living concepts, healthy densification etc.
Well-Being
This year's event focuses on the theme of healthy densification. An afternoon with inspiring speakers, lots of interaction and room for connection. An afternoon with a mission...
Due to the growth of the Brainport region, the number of inhabitants will increase rapidly in the coming years. This not only provides pressure on the housing market. Growth also means that more people will share the same number of square meters. How can we give shape to this complex task without compromising the quality of life? Without driving greenery and biodiversity out of the city? And hardening social structures?
We rethink, inspire and search for solutions together. With an appeal to the creative industry: Without driving greenery and biodiversity out of the city?
With an appeal to the creative industry: think with us!
Shortly after the DDW'24 we start with the concrete construction and innovation assignment for the city room in the Living LAB 040.
