Short resume: I deal with social and political issues in relation to the organization of space. I work with little or no physical material but with speach, organization and action and often in cooperation with others. Following an interest in working on the largest scale and in how processes of globalization affects the urban environment, I recently studied urban planning in the Netherlands.
