PAMFLET
SERIES OF LECTURES, CONFERENCES AND DEBATES ON CITY FORMATION
Cities began as the gathering of individuals, with shared interests. In a return to its origins, the current formation of our urban habitat has come down from the ivory tower to include a multitude of actors – musicians, chefs, graffiti artists, community organizers, ecologists, as well as corporations, politicians, architects, and urbanists. Rotterdam has long been at the forefront of urban development and has always profited from being embedded in an international discourse. In recent times, with the loss of The Berlage Institute and the Netherlands Architecture Institute, a strong platform for international debate is painfully missing.
PAMFLET invites innovative international voices back to Rotterdam to share their experiences and engage them into a debate with the Dutch practice.
