Curatorial context

The 'Raumplan: Architect in Residence #2 of 2022' program delves into the ambitious goal of transforming Amsterdam's housing landscape by significantly increasing cooperative housing. Raumplan, led by architects David Klinkhamer and Roel van der Zeeuw, is exploring the feasibility of achieving approximately 50,000 cooperative housing units by 2040. This initiative seeks to offer affordable housing, empower residents with control over their living environments, and present a viable alternative to speculative real estate. The residency encompasses a multi-faceted approach, including an inventory of the current state of cooperative housing, interviews with experts, and speculative discussions about an alternative future where cooperatives are the norm. The project aims to identify opportunities and overcome obstacles, moving beyond the initial challenges of pilot projects to envision the broader potential of this model for urban and national living. Findings and discussions are shared through publications, interviews, and public events, contributing to a deeper understanding of cooperative housing's role in shaping Amsterdam's future.
