Bartlett International Lecture Series 2013-14 // Kees Christiaanse

The City as a Loft A desire for urbanity, identity and indentification has been a major factor during the last thirty years in stimulating the preservation and conversion of derelict structures dating from the industrial era. Buildings like this have their own specific features and a relationship to history and context, while at the same time being open to current and future needs. The buildings attract involvement by local people and stand out with their qualities of stability and openness. The word 'loft' is used to describe these urban qualities: adaptable, flexible and at the same time powerful and authentic spaces in which people can live and work. Kees Christiaanse is an Urban planner, Programme Leader of the Future Cities Laboratory in Singapore, and Founder and Partner of KCAP. Alongside his work as an architect and academic, Kees focuses on urban assignments in complex situations and guiding urban processes. He is a consultant to several airports and expert in the development of university campuses and in the revitalisation of former industrial, railway and harbour areas.
