Lunchlezing
Dinsdag 10 oktober 12:30 – 13:30
Circular expo (voormalige herstelling/plaza), stadhuis

In 2025 bestaat Amsterdam 750 jaar. Dat is natuurlijk het vieren waard maar hoe kunnen we er nu voor zorgen dat over 250 jaar ook de 1000ste verjaardag van Amsterdam te vieren valt? Want dat de stad over 250 jaar nog bestaat, met hitte, droogte en extreme neerslag als gevolg van klimaatverandering, is allerminst zeker. De onzekerheden die opduiken bij 250 jaar vooruitkijken zijn nieuw, nog niet eerder geformuleerd en de oplossingen zijn nog onbekender. Op dinsdag 10 oktober is onder het genot van een lunch een lezing over hoe wordt omgegaan met de uitdagingen in projectopgaven in de openbare ruimte.

Sacha Stolp van het Ingenieursbureau en regisseur van het initiatief ‘Amsterdam 1000 jaar’ zal hierover het woord nemen en vertellen over de rol van de gemeente Amsterdam om innovatie te stimuleren in de openbare ruimte. Ze legt uit hoe de gemeente samenwerkt met kennisinstellingen en marktpartijen om nieuwe vraagstukken juist te formuleren en nieuwe, woest aantrekkelijke oplossingen te ontwikkelen. Tegelijkertijd verkennen we nieuwe samenwerkingsvormen en innovatieve inkoopmethoden.

Hoe we dat doen? Kom naar de lunchlezing op 10 oktober a.s. in de Cirucular Expo (voormalig herstelling/plaza), stadhuis van 12:30 – 13:30.

What would society look like if we assigned a central role to repair? And what happens if we see repair as more than a quick fix? The symposium ‘In Repair: towards a post-throwaway society’ builds on recent studies of repair, which frame the concept in a much broader context.

Activities like mending, renovating, healing, rehabilitating, revitalizing, recovering, curing or hacking help us deal with problems in a social, sustainable, and resourceful way. During this evening we explore how repair thinking could set directions for a post-throwaway society. A society in which imperfection, broken systems, relations and objects are welcomed rather than shunned; a logic of breakdown bridges past, present and future; and even tax might shift from labour to natural resource use.

CAN YOU HELP ME WITH EXAMPLES?
For a visit in Singapore, I promised that would try to get some info from companies or people involved in examples in and around Amsterdam. So, that is why I ask for info about concrete examples smart home/living. I most certainly will mention the name of your company and/or you if I use the info (and tell yuo if used).

Apart from the general interest I have since I am also CTO at Amstelveen, where we might want to do something in this area as well. But, that is no rush at the moment :)

So can you send me some information about examples: maybe a short description (Word or PDF) and an URL for more info. Mail me please on tfv2103@gmail.com. My australian number (I am available the next 4 hours; after that I am in the plain) is: 0481184872

Topics that I really like to know from your example:
- where is and since when the smart home/living?
- by whom, for whom made/realised?
- what is it about? Why is it or what makes it smart?
- results: i.e. which: i.e. some learningpoints in realisation and what added value already visible (i.e. advantages compared with more traditional homes/living, savings etc)?

And maybe, if possible, as well an idea of
- needed time and effort to realise;
- costs and savings.
- riscs.

Please mail me on tfv2103@gmail.com.

I work at the society of Amsterdam (within CTO) and I am CTO in Amstelveen. So, apart from the need now, I also do have a general interest to see what we can do in Amstelveen perhaps as well. C for more info about me at linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/theoveltman/

Thanks for trying!
