The value of a decent entrance
Why should it matter how you enter your house or a building? Lyongo tells you why a decent entrance matters in this article!
Architect Lyongo Juliana emphasizes the importance of inclusivity in architecture, especially in a diverse city like Amsterdam. During his research for ARCAM, he discovered that design often does not meet the needs of people with a migration background. A simple adjustment such as a larger hallway for taking off shoes can prevent a lot of irritation. Flexibility in home design is essential. The South Korean floor plan with a multifunctional room at the entrance is inspiring for example. Developers must look beyond costs and also value a decent entrance.
Also, what does it mean for the building task if 56 percent of the inhabitants in Amsterdam have a migration background? What are their housing needs and can they be taken into account in the design? These are questions that should be asked according to Lyongo Juliana.
