The exhibition "How to build in 2030?" explores the past, present, and future of our built environment. The exhibition focuses on two areas: the Merwe-Vierhavens (M4H) port in Rotterdam and the industrial Canal Zone in Eindhoven, both set to become vibrant hubs for living and working. At the heart of these developments lie the Keile District and Koelhuis District, cultural centers driven by a dynamic community of makers and a progressive focus on circularity. How are these areas similar, where do they differ, and how can we create a future-proof living environment, ready to face the challenges of tomorrow?
“HOW TO BUILD IN 2030?” is an initiative of the KeileCollectief with contributions by CITYFÖRSTER, De Urbanisten, GROUP A | CARBONLAB, Happel Cornelisse Verhoeven and studioADAMS.
