Cast off! Last week Jet Munster started her research and design on urbanism based upon the perspective and experience of women. Within her final year of urbanism at the Academie van Bouwkunst Amsterdam this project is entitled ‘#DesignForTheUnseen’.
It focusses on formal and informal spatial networks for women in #Amsterdam South East. Situated in the post war urban development in Amsterdam that became famous as ‘#Bijlmer’ is an incredibly interesting case study, as it has been designed from scratch originally in the 70ies and has since then been heavily redeveloped, too.
It’s always an honour if a former student reaches out to ask if I want to accompany his or her #finalproject. But it is even more rewarding to work together in a team with Jessica Hammarlund Bergmann and Wouter Pocornie of Bijlmer Believers 3.0 (Bijlm3r), both experts in either the area or the topic of Jet’s research.
Our first meeting was delightfull and a thoughtful discussion based upon first research results and we are looking forward to the coming months when the project will fully unfold. Set the sails!
