How we build expo

Margarita Kouvatsou

The exhibition "How to Build in 2030?" looks at how our built environment has changed over the last 100 years, focusing on two industrial areas - M4H in Rotterdam and the Canal Zone in Eindhoven - and exploring how we can create a future-ready living environment for thriving communities.

“How to Build in 2030?” takes you on a quest for a future-proof living environment

The exhibition "How to build in 2030?" explores the past, present, and future of our built environment. The exhibition focuses on two areas: the Merwe-Vierhavens (M4H) port in Rotterdam and the industrial Canal Zone in Eindhoven, both set to become vibrant hubs for living and working. At the heart of these developments lie the Keile District and Koelhuis District, cultural centers driven by a dynamic community of makers and a progressive focus on circularity. How are these areas similar, where do they differ, and how can we create a future-proof living environment, ready to face the challenges of tomorrow? “HOW TO BUILD IN 2030?” is an initiative of the KeileCollectief with contributions by CITYFÖRSTER, De Urbanisten, GROUP A | CARBONLAB, Happel Cornelisse Verhoeven and studioADAMS. The exhibition is supported by ABT, Adviesbureau Lüning, AIR – Architectuur Instituut Rotterdam, Aveco de Bondt, Concrete Blossom, Cordeel, DGMR, Dura Vermeer Bouw Heyma, Creative Industries Fund NL, Gemeente Rotterdam – Cultuur, Programmabureau M4H and Vandersanden.
