Civic
Founded in 2015 by Ingrid van der Heijden, Jan Lebbink, Gert Kwekkeboom and Rick ten Doeschate (pictured von left to right), Civic Architects has focused strongly on the design of public spaces in its young history. One of the first projects by the Amsterdam-based studio for public architecture was a pedestrian underpass flanked by an interactive LED glass brick wall. Now 11-members strong, Civic works to address socially relevant issues and develop architectural solutions that engage in dialogue with the specific location. They have clearly succeeded in doing so with their harbour pavilion in Tilburg; the impressive steel construction lends the location an unmistakable identity.
