Venice this week! For the opening of the exhibition “Diagrams, a project by AMO/OMA” at the Fondazione Prada, Ca’Corner. It has been fantastic to play a small role in this project and it is even better to now see the whole show in reality, and amazing to speak to all the people involved

How very exciting! Beautiful cover! Looking forward to reading the book

Dank je, Charlotte!

This week I have the honour of taking care of the Bluesky account @historicivertellen.bsky.social, where I well show you a bit more about my work (week). All in Dutch!

The amazing #drawing course “Drawing Rome” will run again, taught by artist and architect David Dernie. It’s an amazing way to learn to see, observe and draw (and to explore #Rome) for beginners as well as experienced people.
