Summer School Thinking City
Application open for Summer School Thinking City 3-16 July
Cities. Can’t live with them, can’t live without them. People are often fiercely proud of the city where they live. But how do you go about tackling the different problems a large city such as Amsterdam faces?
The Foundation Thinking City—VMX Architects and Zef Hemel—organises a Summer School this year in which Amsterdam not only serves as home base, but also as topic of study. Together with the University of Amsterdam, the AMS Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions and several local partner organisations, a group of sixty scientists, planners and designers from all around the world will work for two weeks on specific urban challenges for the city of Amsterdam.
This means intensive work in interdisciplinary teams and in close collaboration with local stakeholders. To engage a wide audience in the debate, a free public lecture programme will be accommodated in the evenings on remarkable sites throughout the city.
