How do you design buildings that not only enhance the quality of life for its inhabitants, but also integrate seamlessly as a vital component of the city’s urban environment? This challenge drives our daily practice at VenhoevenCS architecture+urbanism.

During their guest lecture at the Intellectual Forum, hosted by Jesus College Cambridge, Ton Venhoeven and Cécilia Gross discuss our transformative approach to architecture and urbanism: with car-free, walkable neighbourhoods, we aim to foster resilient, nature-inclusive cities with maximum quality of life and a minimum carbon footprint. We see our projects as crucial components in healing urban and natural ecosystems, building bridges between cultures and districts.

Join Ton and Cecilia in their lecture, as they explain how our design principles help reshape cities, integrating the needs of people and nature to drive progress towards healthy urban ecosystems.
