In 2021 we were asked to contribute to a major publication by Pakhuis de Zwijger. We wrote about how you can create spaces where everyone feels at home.

How hospitable is Dutch architectural practice? How inclusive is our architecture? To what extent are municipalities, developers, investors and designers busy creating spaces where everyone feels at home?

The editors try to find answers to these questions. ‘Built hospitality’ is what it’s all about for the next three months. During different events Pakhuis de Zwijger will zoom in on those topics. Lyongo Juliana kicks off! He shares his first thoughts in this article.
