Brabant Renovates Naturally Together: organizing chains for the benefit of biobased building materials.

Soontiëns has registered as a lead for a project 'Green and water as a basis, within the urban theme Vital City Center.

Stam + De Koning wants to apply more environmental psychology in projects: what effect does the physical (built) living environment have on humans? For example, the positive effects of greenery and wood. But also how people deal with sustainable measures.

Why is it not possible to enjoy a street where you meet neighbors, children play outside, and you are surrounded by greenery even on the 5th floor? With this project, we are developing an alternative to the commonly used apartment building, allowing us to achieve high densities in a qualitative manner. A structure (exo-skeleton) creates a winding path upward, adjacent to plateaus (elevated ground level), on which residences and communal facilities are built. Affordable, inclusive, with nature, temporary and permanent. An initiative by LL040, open to innovative parties to join.

Did you know that even if you exercise enough, play sports, and eat healthily, living in the city can be unhealthy? This is related to the quality of the outdoor air we breathe. Therefore, in the Living LAB 040, we investigate how to create residential neighborhoods with healthy air bubbles by experimenting with outdoor air purification based on available technology. Our ambition is to reduce lung diseases, develop a healthy air design methodology for cities, optimize the technology, generate evidence, and translate insights into physical products and guidelines (product development).
