New office for Bekkering Adams architects
December 5th
Coming January Bekkering Adams architects will move into a new office, together with co-tenant GROUP A. After enjoying our current office space in the monumental building 'Diepeveen' with its characteristic tower, we feel it's time to discover and develop a new environment. We are exited to move to an inspiring new studio, situated within the dynamic and upcoming M4H district - Merwe Vierhavens.
In this innovative area Bekkering Adams architects will join a diverse mix of companies already situated in the area, such as Atelier van Lieshout, Studio Roosegaarde, Marconia and Studio Makkink & Bey. Together with start-up CleanTech companies and "Making" companies including Buurman - de Bende, de Voedseltuin and Madein4Haven we are fully commited to join them in the creation of a pioneer location for innovation and inspiration.
Since the original ware house needed some serious changes before we could use it as an office, the last half year we have been busy to transforme the space into a working space as well as forming the communal welcome area and meeting space. See also the blog by Lolke Ket (Group A) for a weekly update of the work under construction.

Workshop 3D- concrete printing
June 15th
On June 5th Juliette Bekkering took part in the leading-group workshop: 3D printing with concrete at the Technical University of Eindhoven.
3D printing is not fiction anymore. In the field of medical technique it is now a reality. In building-constructions 3D printers are already used for plastic construction products. But 3D printing in concrete is still lagging behind, but catching up. Researchers from the Department of Structural Design and Architectural Design and Engineering, TU-Eindhoven have begun exploring the possibilities. In the coming years the chair of Juliette Bekkering will start a research exploring the possibilities of 3D printing with concrete. The workshop was an initiative of the Cement & Beton Centrum and Booosting in collaboration with the TU Eindhoven.
