03/06/2015 – Biobased bouwen op de Floriade (Almere)
In 2016 the province of Flevoland (The Netherlands) is going to develop a workplace (‘atelier’) at the Floriade area (horticulture fair 2022). The ambition is to realise a building which is controversial from itself and will be an icon for bio based- and circular building. To generate ideas for this innovative building, Grow2Build has organised a workshop. During the workshop – at June 3rd 2015 in Almere – some 25 architects, builders and productdevelopers explored the possibilities on short and long term (now, new, next).
A report on this workshop (in Dutch) is available.
