Architect Matthijs Bouw (One Architecture) will talk about the resiliency-projects he is currently involved with in the Unites States - foremost amongst them the 'Big U' for the flood-protection of Manhattan.

He interweaves this story with a narrative on the parallel transformations towards a more resilient office that his firm One Architecture is undergoing. 

The lectures take place on Thursday nights and start at 8 pm at the Amsterdam Academy of Architecture, Waterlooplein 213 in Amsterdam. Tickets cost €5 and can be purchased at the door from 7.30 pm. A limited number of Academy students have free admission on presentation of their student card. The lectures are in English.
