Een nieuwe OpenHaard! Dit keer over architectuur, 3D design, modder en de maan. Samengevat: landschap en vorm. De avond zal in het Nederlands en Engels worden gehouden. Om alvast te wennen hieronder een profiel van onze gasten in het Engels.

John Lonsdale – Architect
Lonsdale is an architect and Prix de Rome winner – with his project Shifting Horizons – who established his own office in 2004. He is a thinker and sculptor who uses landscapes and buildings, or architecture, for his art.
He makes works that look forward to the release of forces of nature held between the meeting of land and sea. He is bringing together his nature driven designs in a book called Mudscapes, Towards a Shifting Architecture.

Janne Kytannen – Freedom Of Creation – 3D printing
Founder an creative director of Freedom Of Creations. Graduated in 2000 from The Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. Right after his graduation he started working for a number of interior, product and lighting design projects for clients in the banking, public transport, aviation, consumer electronics and cosmetics industries. After two years, he got bored with traditional design approaches and wanted to go back to what he was busy with during his design studies: the potential of using 3D printing techniques as a source for manufacturing designs. He introduced a line of 3D printed products as his thesis for graduation.

A smashing hit produced by FOC was the 3D printed sneaker for Onitsuka Tiger. It was picked-up all over the world and topped many design blogs.
