What can city hearts who are struggling learn from the redevelopment of monuments and large heritage complexes? Of tackling a social phenomenon such as the exodus of churches? A lot of course!
Sandra will discuss this with ‘master organizer’ Frank Strolenberg, program manager for the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands and owner of Frank en Vrij.
Frank knows better than anyone how to initiate a broad conversation between parties who do not yet know each other or even have their backs to each other. From there arise the confidence and the new ideas that are needed to arrive for a new meaning for monuments. Because if there is one constant with monuments, it is that they must change their function in their long existence to survive.
That and much more is covered in this Podcast. The insights from the now – after 30 years – mature redevelopment industry are flying around your ears. Your Podcast host occasionally goes silent, because she is made to think and of course made to reflect on her own experiences. Will you allow yourself to think as well?
Finally, a must, be inspired by the latest book “Church Buildings: 88 inspiring examples of new uses” by Frank and Albert Reinstra with (and we are so proud!) DOMUSDELA on the front page.
