Join Arcam's monthly networking event for professionals in architecture, urban planning, and project development. The April 3rd, 2025 edition, 'The Funda Aesthetics,' will explore trends, identity, and the role of design in contemporary interiors, featuring a panel discussion.
Arcam hosts 'Barcam' (bar+arcam) every first Thursday of the month, a networking event designed for professionals in architecture, urban planning, and project development. This recurring event offers affordably priced drinks and an insightful short program centered around a specific topic. The April 3rd, 2025 session, titled 'The 'Funda Aesthetics': Trends, Identity, and the Role of Design,' delves into the common interior design trends seen on real estate platforms like Funda, such as herringbone floors and black steel doors. The discussion will examine what these trends reveal about spatial identity and the influence of design on both residents and designers. Key aspects to be discussed include the impact of social media, the role of interior architects in this evolution, and whether this style represents a fleeting trend or a recurrence of past design cycles. The panel for this discussion includes Jeroen Atteveld, Architect/Partner at Heren 5 Architecten, who will touch upon their project 'het Fundahuis'; Jessica Kuitenbrouwer, a trend and lifestyle journalist and podcast host known for her critical yet affectionate observations on consumer culture; and Elvi Huizinga, a partner at JA Makelaardij specializing in styling and finance within Amsterdam's housing market. The event encourages (interior) architects and enthusiasts to participate in a reflection on the significance of these interior choices and how design shapes personal and home identity. Registration is preferred but not required.
Entry to Barcam is free, with affordably priced drinks and snacks available. Registration is preferred but not required. The event is wheelchair accessible, and attendees needing extra support can contact Arcam directly for arrangements. Holy Moly Pizza will be available for purchase on-site.
