"The District of Tomorrow"
The District of Tomorrow is a very exciting project by the University of applied sciences 'ZUYD", in Heerlen, Netherlands. Its establishing a small neighbourhood of houses and an office, completely in line with the closing cycle principles described elswhere on these pages. For graduation students of building and architecture have to design the different projects, and a jury chooses the best design. The year after its constructed by pupils of the construction craftsmen schools as a learning environment. Together with professional stakeholders the research is implemented for the realisation. I was lucky to get involved in this project, and to be able to steer and contribute, by an appointment as Lector Gebouwde Omgeving ( professor of applied science Built Environment) at the Zuyd University. The project is under way, and first results will become available in 2009. See for a short overview this website:
