Clean Out Your Cloud!

Workshop (EN/NL)

19:30 - 21:30, doors open from 19:00


It’s time for a big clean-up in the digital world!

Join us in cleaning up our clouds together. Think of long-forgotten photos you no longer need or emails that have been gathering so much dust you can’t even see them anymore.


Using a practical handout and support where needed, we’ll get to work decluttering digital data that costs us money, takes away clarity, and also consumes a lot of energy. Bring a fully charged laptop. You’re also welcome to bring something (vegetarian) to eat and drink to share, but that is not required.

HYPERLOKAAL: DO YOU LIKE IT HOT?

Expertmeeting (EN/NL)

18:00 soup  / 19:00 - 21:00 program


Makers, thinkers, tech enthusiasts & designers wanted: how do we keep ourselves warm?


WarmteLab is organizing the third brainstorm as part of our DO YOU LIKE IT HOT? project.

This time, we’re diving into local heat: heat that works close to your body; smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable than heating an entire space.

Ultimately, we’ll create our own heat objects using a special textile technique developed by Janneke de Lange. There’s still plenty of room to explore ideas, hack systems, and further develop concepts together.

*Do you have ideas?

* Want to think along or join in?

* Curious about heat, materials, and design?


Come by and take part!

 Anything goes, everything is possible, your input makes the difference.

From 6 PM there will be soup, the program starts at 7:00 PM.

Het Krakeel: Welk kavel gaan we kiezen?

Wooncoöperatie meet-up (NL)

20:00 - 21:45, inloop vanaf 19:30


Wooncoöperatie Het Krakeel is een groep Hagenaars die samen een wooncomplex wil realiseren in Den Haag: betaalbaar, duurzaam en volop gemeenschappelijk leven.


Op donderdag 5 juni komen we samen voor een spannende avond: we hebben twee locaties voorgesteld gekregen en gaan als groep bepalen welke kavel de beste plek wordt voor ons toekomstige thuis.


Nieuwsgierig naar collectief wonen en nog niet bekend met het Krakeel? Je bent uiteraard van harte welkom — maar lees je eerst even in via www.hetkrakeel.nl. Tijdens deze avond gaan we namelijk meteen aan de slag met de twee concrete locaties.


We vragen een kleine bijdrage voor de huurkosten van de locatie — zie de QR-code bij binnenkomst.

DAG VAN DE ARCHITECTUUR

Open day

Dinsdag 30 juni

StadsLab: De Gedeelde Stad / The Shared City

Popsession #1: lecture & workshop (EN)

19:00 - 21:00


We invite you to join us for PopSession #1, the first edition, taking place on the rooftop of De Helena.


During Pop Sessions, we come together to explore the questions that concern us. One of these questions is how we collectively organise space in our city. Who has access? Who decides? What collective models can we apply? And who holds the power?


Each Pop Session consists of a lecture, conversation, and short workshop. Afterwards, there will be space to continue the discussion informally.


Our guest speaker for this edition is Roberto Rocco of the Centre for the Just City. Roberto is an Associate Professor of Spatial Planning and Strategy at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment at TU Delft. Trained as both an architect and spatial planner, he earned his Master’s degree in Planning from the University of São Paulo and completed his PhD at TU Delft.


His research focuses primarily on governance for sustainability transitions, regional planning, and spatial design, with particular attention to spatial justice as a crucial component of these transitions. He has extensively researched and published on informal urbanisation in the Global South, specifically investigating how informal institutions shape and influence planning practices at the local level. This work has resulted in two major publications: The Routledge Handbook on Informal Urbanisation (2019) and Insurgent Planning Practice (2024).

Together with Caroline Newton, he co-directs the TU Delft Centre for the Just City, an initiative dedicated to promoting spatial justice in the built environment through education, research, and consultancy.

Donderdag 9 juli

JOIN THE ROOFTOP POETS

Open dichtavond (all languages welcome)

19:30 - 21:30


Come (on up) and make poetry on the roof!


Think candles, tea, beer, wine, and lots of paper. We’ll write poetry, together and on our own, guided by a shared theme, in a place where the gaze stretches far, and thoughts even further..

Do you think you could never write a poem? 

Have you been doing it for years? 

Do you actually have no idea what a poem even is? 

All three apply to us too, and that doesn’t stop us. Give it a try, or share what you’ve been doing for years. Put a few words on paper, and you might suddenly find yourself reading them aloud by the end of the evening!


ALL LANGUAGES WELCOME!

Language is no barrier, as far as we’re concerned (and we are). Poetry makes its own language, one that cares little for borders or rationality.


PS: if you don’t feel like cooking, Conscious Kitchen provides a meal of “saved veggies” in the Helena.

19 - 23 augustus

WE LIKE IT HOT

- communal meals

- morning and afternoon building sessions

- meet likeminded people with different expertises, from all walks of life and share ideas and inspiration

- time in between to relax and have fun; we have a rooftop jacuzzi :-)

- Initiatives for extra, self organized activities are appreciated.

- Improvised environment with a 120 m2 greenhouse & 2000m2 roof,

- Pizza oven, kitchen and toilets but only cold outdoor showers, unless you bring a solar shower or build one.

WarmteLab/Heat Lab

In our WarmteLab we experiment with heat. How can we develop accessible low-tech ways to store, share and collectively manage heat for a fossil-free and resilient future?
