A monthly snapshot of what's actually moving — across the three vehicles, advisory, writing — and what's deliberately parked. Inspired by the /now page convention.
On the floor at Provada — RAI Amsterdam, 9, 10, 11 June. The Living Hub is a four-zone, fully sensory walk-through of what a Liven World district feels, sounds and smells like, around a maquette of Randstad 21. Built for the municipalities, investors and developers actually deciding what gets built next.
9–11 June 2026 · RAI AmsterdamThe instrument for reading lived experience before, during and after handover. Looking for one development partner willing to run it in parallel with the conventional KPI stack.
Co-hosted with Altuïtion in the Living Hub: a private, senior-level table on what the housing sector keeps missing when it builds for the object instead of the user. With Hilde van Baal and Stephan van Slooten. By invitation.
9 June 2026 · 11:00–12:15 · Stand 12.26Independent advisory running alongside the vehicles. Each one a different angle on the same claim.
Working with the Nordic Life Lab team to sharpen what the lab is for, who it serves and how the work translates from concept into operating reality.
Drafting a proposition on grid congestion — the Dutch netcongestie bottleneck now binding on new residential development. Treating it as a place-strategy question, not only an energy-engineering one.
In development.
Standing seat on the advisory board of Altuïtion, the customer-experience consultancy whose work translates most directly to user-centered real estate. The closed Provada roundtable sits on top of that relationship — see the UCRE row.
Working a piece on the reframe that sits behind everything else. LinkedIn carousels on a monthly cadence. Substack when there is something to actually say.
The slow accumulation of operator-side material that does not get published — because operators do not write. Plus a re-read of the buildings-as-living-systems canon.
A short, deliberate list. Saying no with the same care as saying yes is part of how the practice keeps its shape over a decade rather than a quarter.
Mixed-audience industry stages. Panel-only speaker requests. Architecture-only briefs with no operating layer. Anything that asks experience to be a marketing claim instead of a system property. New writing platforms. Anything that compounds in months but not in decades.
