KeileCollectief: Ten Years of Collaborating on the City

What begins with sharing a workspace can evolve into a shared vision for the city. In an interview with Rotterdam Architecture Month, Folkert van Hagen of GROUP A and Monica Adams of studioADAMS look back on ten years of KeileCollectief.

The conversation explores the development of the Keilepand, the transformation of the M4H district, and the power of collective action in area development. What does meaningful collaboration really look like? And what does a new approach to urban development require from designers, entrepreneurs, and public authorities?

As Folkert van Hagen explains in the interview: “Now that the organisation has a solid foundation, you can really feel the conversation improving. It allows us to develop a genuinely diverse range of perspectives on one central question: how do we create this part of the city?”
