FuckUp Nights #2: Architecture Edition
During the Rotterdam Architecture Month, BlueCity joins forces with the Nieuwe Instituut for the second edition of FuckUp Nights, which is all about architecture. Hear painfully honest stories of epic failure from four Rotterdam-based icons in the fields of architecture. Over the course of the evening, their stories will be explored and celebrated under the inspiring guidance of Nadia Troeman.
27 June 2024 17:30 - 19:30
Four Rotterdam icons from the field of architecture get 10 minutes each to present their mother of all fuckups. Vulnerable and humorous stories of a business that crashes and burns, a partnership deal that goes sour, a product that had to be recalled: you name it, and someone has fucked it up. What went wrong? And what have they learned from it? After these brave humans shared their story, both moderator and audience get to fire all their questions at them during a rapid Q&A.
Speakers
- Ferry in ‘t Veld (architect and founder of Studio Architectuur MAKEN)
- Tim Brans (architect, urban planner and co-founder of NUDUS)
- Willem van Genugten (sustainable business developer at CARBONLAB, an initiative of GROUP A)
- Jeroen Dirckx (architect and partner at KCAP)
FuckUp Nights by BlueCity
With the FuckUp Nights, BlueCity wants to nurture and support the innovative ecosystem of Rotterdam: "an essential part of entrepreneurship is falling and getting back up. Success stories are fascinating, but let us be honest: the real magic is where blunders spice things up, making one's journey both entertaining and inspiring. Let us laugh together, applaud the speakers for their courage and learn from each other's mistakes”.
