How can the Hague meeting two million square feet of additional living space? That was the question on March 5 in theaters on Spui was made. A debate, following the successful photo exhibition living in The Hague, had to give an answer. The invited speakers had their opinion. The executive sat with head nodding.

“Living in The Hague” is a cartoon created by the nomadic house that seeks a complete picture of the Hague housing situation. Now, after realizing the three-VINEX locations: Wateringseveld, and Ypenburg Leidschenveen, a clear picture which emerges from the deficiencies of the fourth policy paper, seized the opportunity the current demand for housing in an intelligent way to deal with.

Spectacle Architect Winy Maas of MVRDV launched the debate with a series of ideas about urban development. Cantilevered balconies in all directions he comply with the demand for the polder home-with-the-garden. Romantic images of a steel structure on park walks of 8 to 50 square meters high were his words. Yes, why not? Good ideas loose again as the dust from the correct address, laughter of course. But since you experience that really made living space? A plan that has nothing to do with housing but where MVRDV have missed the boat is the design for the Ministry of Agriculture. Agriculture must ‘sexier “, which can with a central park-like paste on the tail of the Utrecht jobs. A beautiful, realistic proposal. Unfortunately playing the new ball by the Architect to the architect who just it does not participate in the procurement, Cees Dam. What is important here now hidden behind? The plan Mecanoo for Agriculture was not bad.

Eric Vreedenburgh Archipelago architects of air shall be bound to attend. Alloy pigeon houses on the roofs landscape. A series of images of their Hague and Scheveningen dakwoningen data and a list made his proposal downright realistic. Whether this is a good buy Archipelago has not yet realized a project answered. Yet remain on the sidewalk and social get the rich candy boxes on the gutter.

Their Leon Atelier Pro hides its architectural prefer. As a prototype model for this ostrich puts the home of his own office in. So much space, half buried and barely visible: Pro’s statement against the sensational architecture? In a series of images and graphics Their took the audience on a journey to hidden places. The Hague 27 linear kilometers of water would still be filled with at least 1500 houseboats? Not considered that to mean precisely the water for other urban hides. Their Leon also states that lost the industrial areas like the Binckhorst a green residential oasis can be. In other words, living on the KPN in the backyard of the Citroën Dealer. Of course you can also kill the Westland City glasses verdiepinkje a lift or two and a suburb the size of all the Hague realize. Your tomatoes are already cultivated on rock wool and voila, the entire infrastructure gift!

Urban Jan de Graaf said then that the serious and credible center of The Hague is a dormitory town. With a plethora of offices and ministries, which use an average of fifteen percent actually have, this area is the most lifeless and empty of all Dutch city centers. He seeks in his image without arguments to other uses of this space. New combinations of living and working according to him the city adventurous and efficient. The Hague to monoculture, as it is to other European cities to measure more on the social changes and new trends.

The debate contained a number of brief questions to Henk Westra city architect Martin Schmitt, already on the threshold of the emergency exit was on the way to a meeting with the Architect (LNV dissatisfaction?). After he had strategically bile spewed on one aspect of each proposal, he nonchalantly that he is working towards it. As things go against him, he is the relationship between Spui and Parliament Buildings, “let the council decide now the government coalition”. The idea of living above shops empty-there is -90% in the last twenty years several times on the table of B & W pushed. And the above ideas of the four readers are not breaking new ground. What’s happening in The Hague that the will is there, but the plans remain idea? The whole Hague utopia lies in multiples to yellowing in the bureaucratic la; opportunities for the taking. But what does one? It encapsulates what rural suburbs and puts it in a broadloom carpet of bricks and pavers, the safe way.
