Heat in the delta
Clientship & design in a changing climate
November 28, 2014 | Tolhuistuin | Amsterdam
November 28, 2014, Architectuur Lokaal organizes the national manifestation Heat in the delta on
public clientship and design. Both literally and figuratively we deal with major changes. Formerly the
local aldermen initiated building projects on a large scale, within in the context of the national spatial
planning; sometimes in collaboration with project developers and corporations. In the future,
ambitions will differ completely. Relationships and tasks have changed tremendously over a short
period. Municipalities will have to do a lot more themselves, without being the initiator. On the one
hand they’ll have to deal with small local initiatives; on the other hand they are expected to guide
urbanisation, whilst climate and energy have to be self-evident in this context.
But how can the aldermen do that? How can they take advantage of new techniques and the
possibilities offered by design? Which examples are available, which financial models? And in what
way communities can realize and guard spatial quality? What does the new local clientship means for
the local administration?
Hitte in de delta is the 6th edition of the national manifestation on (public) clientship and design,
organized by Architectuur Lokaal every four year in the year of the municipal local elections.
Governors, designers, knowledge institutions, civil servants, project developers and housing
corporations in the vanguard share their innovative ideas with fellow aldermen, local councillors,
deputies, waterboards and all others involved in clientship and design in The Netherlands.

10.15 Public patronage in a changing climate
chaired by Felix Rottenberg
Along with the continuing decentralisation, roles in public patronage are changing. What does
this mean for spatial challenges that can and have to account for climate and energy? The
Province of Noord Brabant purchases cultural heritage and invests in sustainable energy. The
Water board of Vallei & Veluwe closely collaborates with knowledge institutes and enterprises
to transform organic waste into bio mass. The Municipality of Amsterdam finally has an
alderman responsible for sustainability that occupies himself with sustainable energy and
clean air. At all local and regional levels work is being done on the resilient city, but how
effective are these policies and how fast can they be implemented. Do local and regional
authorities collaborate in a satisfactory manner? Is there still a link with central government
and what is the nature of this link?
Debate with Abdeluheb Choho alderman Amsterdam Municipality (D66), Yves de
Boer alderman Province Noord Brabant (VVD) en Tanja Klip chairman Water board Vallei en
Veluwe (VVD)
11.00 Changes in malleable Netherlands
chaired by Michelle Provoost Development/Design team Atelier ZZ, Crimson
Big Society, decentralization and population decline are trends that will have a big impact on
the organization and spatial order of the Netherlands. The central questions are no longer
what, where and how much to build. We have to consider how we will decide on spatial
developments, how we will finance new plans and how we must organize their
implementation. The new Environmental Act that will simply Dutch environmental legislation
and make it more effective addresses these issues. A dilemma presents itself: the law aims to
accommodate sustainable developments and regional differences, but the law also wants to
make it easier for everybody to pursue his own spatial ambitions by stimulating grass roots
initiatives.
11.00 Atelier ZZ, commissioning and environmental laws
introduction by Cilly Jansen, director Architectuur Lokaal, projectleader Atelier ZZ
Atelier ZZ investigates the possibilities to contribute to the improvement of town and country
planning tools. It concerns improvements that first and foremost are felt and experienced by
Dutch civilians, but that will also wonder and surprise cosmopolitan citizens in our globalizing
world. Atelier ZZ, a project of Architectuur Lokaal under Werken aan Ontwerpkracht, Actie
Agenda Architectuur en Ruimtelijk Ontwerp (Working on Design Power, Agenda on
Architecture & Spatial Design AAARO), presentments the outcomes of its investigations during
2013 and 2014 in an advice to the Cabinet.
11.10 Premiere: Dilemma’s in het veen (Dilemma’s in the Peaty Meadows)
film by Victor Vroegindeweij
The Peaty Meadows Atelier Friesland van Atelier ZZ wants to offer guidelines to develop visions
on the future informed by design. Visualization of possibilities can help politicians, inhabitants
and entrepreneurs to make choices, regardless of planning and legal issues and other
obstructions. The Atelier discloses bottlenecks that in the broader context of national
legislation are also relevant for the rest of the Netherlands. The Peaty Meadows Atelier
Friesland analyzed what processes, actors, financial streams and mentalities frame the future
of the Frisian peaty meadows. What does this mean for major challenges with regard to the
landscape in the Netherlands?

handed over to the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment. Hermen Borst head
Spatial Design and deputy director Spatial Development of the Ministry receives the advice
from Carel de Reus chairman Atelier ZZ.
12.30 The energy challenge
chaired by Felix Rottenberg
Energy is power. Energy is politics, mobility, economics. What does the future look like, what
challenges are awaiting us and how can administrators, designers and other professionals join
forces? Dozens of municipalities plan to be the first fully energy neutral municipality in the
Netherlands by 2025. What do these plans exactly propose? Are the scenarios put forward
realistic?

11.30 The Q factor
chaired by Rients Dijkstra State advisor Infrastructure and the City
The Environmental Act retains the obligation for the government to secure a good quality of the
built environment. Local authorities are granted more leeway to accommodate local
peculiarities. A proper motivation for decisions with a spatial impact is of the utmost
importance. What tools do local authorities use to arrive at deliberate decisions? How can they
make effective use of advice by expert teams?

Talent
Location: IJ Pavillion
Exhibition Archiprix 2014
In the EXPO ROOM and in the TUINZAAL / GARDEN ROOM of the IJ Pavilion the entries of
Archiprix 2014 will be on display.
Analysis of the entries of Archiprix 2014 prompted the conclusion that design culture is very much
alive. The new engagement no longer runs directly from design to result (an approach that is
destined to fail); it is aimed at conceiving viable projects by activating participation. Personal
considerations of the new generation of designers that deals conscious and confident with topical
challenges, play an important role as well. They extrapolate urban design from architecture and
consider it self-evident to incorporate sustainability in their plans.

11.00 Internationalisation
chaired by Matthijs Prins associate professor Design and Construction Management TU Delft
Brussels has introduced public procurement directives to promote a single European market.
The merits of these directives are heavily contested. Nevertheless, cross border collaborations
seem to increase. The success stories of Dutch architects and builders abroad are well-known,
but at the moment international collaborations also advance in Dutch procurement
procedures for architecture. How do you locate suitable commissions and partners abroad
and how do you deal with different (procurement) cultures?

12.00 Socially responsible procurement
chaired by Alijd van Doorn assistant professor section Design and Construction
Management TU Delft
Sustainable procurement no longer confines itself to climate issues, maintenance costs and
energy savings. Attention for flexibility, circular economy and corporate social responsibility
is rapidly increasing. If these sustainability ambitions are to succeed, public clients, designers
and contractors must reassess their approach towards procurement processes. How can the
conditions of the preparation, tendering and contract stages be optimized to make the best
use of the potential of design?

Workshops
Location: Poortgebouw
OPEN COÖP
De OPEN COÖP is a multidisciplinary cooperation of diverse Enterprises and freelancers. They are
not just united by the shared building, but also by their love for the city of Amsterdam and the
ambition to make city life better and more inspiring. The OPEN COOP is a ‘Machine that can
chew any wicked problem related to the city’ by combining politics, art, (digital) media, design,
management, campaigns, architecture, new technologies, local production and great food.
Sharing knowledge and expertise by working together on larger (societal) issues is an essential
condition.
For Heat in the Delta the OPEN COÖP organizes nine workshops of half an hour each for small
groups in its own accomodation: the presentation room and the frontstore of the Poortgebouw,
directly besides the Tolhuistuin (see location information). Three times, two workshops are
programmed simultaneously, and one time two workshops.
Attention: Places in the workshops of OPEN COÖP are limited. Places need to be reserved upon
registration.
