Exhibition summary

Séverine Kas and Ed. Bijman are featured as 'Architects in Residence' for the first half of 2023 at ARCAM as part of the 'Architecture for Everyone' program.

Curatorial context

Séverine Kas and Ed. Bijman are the Architects in Residence #1 for 2023 at ARCAM, participating in the year-long program 'Architecture for Everyone,' which aims to increase awareness and interest in accessibility within the construction and design sectors. Séverine Kas, an expert in inclusion and accessibility, and Ed. Bijman, specializing in wheelchair architecture, will contribute to ARCAM's activities throughout the first half of the year. Their involvement includes contributing to Winter Lectures, excursions, the Amsterdam Architecture Prize, and exhibitions. Together with the 'Architecture for Everyone' team, they will also develop a Universal Program of Requirements (UPvE) for ARCAM's programming and building. Séverine Kas brings her experience as an architect, process facilitator, and lived experience expert, advocating for an inclusive world, noting that environments are often inaccessible due to ignorance rather than unwillingness. Ed. Bijman, a former partner at Heren 5 architects and now specializing in wheelchair architecture, uses his personal experience with a spinal cord injury to create functional and aesthetically pleasing design solutions for people with disabilities. His work spans private adaptations to larger projects for care institutions and consulting on personal injury cases, alongside designing houseboats. Their residency is supported by the Stimulering fonds Creatieve Industrie, Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst, and the municipality of Amsterdam.
