STAFF
Head of INSIDE & Tutor TRAVEL + SKILLS
Hans Venhuizen is Head of INSIDE and leads the TRAVEL program and curates the SKILLS program.
Hans Venhuizen first studied Urban Planning at the Radboud University in Nijmegen, but switched to Architectural Design and Monumental Art at the School of the Arts Arnhem. In 1999 he set up Bureau Venhuizen, a project management and research bureau in the field of culture based
planning. In search of a more specific identity for cities and areas, Hans links the worlds of culture and space to each other in different ways. His focus is always on the culture of spatial planning itself, and the game is his most important instrument.
He developed various games, including the Parquettry Landscape game’, the debating game ‘The Making Of’ and ‘Life, the Game’. Recent projects include Koningsas, a research for cultural/spatial projects in the Groningen-Assen region, and K*eiland, a research and design project in an urban regeneration area in Utrecht and Autonia about the culture of the car.
TRAVEL
National and international excursions, symposiums, lectures, interviews and studio visits stimulate the observations of and research on phenomena in spatial design. Students gather impressions, and from that they allow particular phenomena to emerge. Phenomena are more than mere descriptions of a situation. A phenomenon can be anything that reveals the ‘truth’ of a situation: they are a tool to frame a situation and accompany the student during the process of designing a spatial change.
SKILLS
The SKILLS programme is taught by various guest lecturers.
This year the SKILLS program includes Gamification by Jeroen van Mastrigt, Presenting and Portfolio by Lucas Verweij, Modelling by Vincent de Rijk, Photography by Diewertje Komen, Research by Entering by Leeke Reinders, Tangible Spatial Interpretations by Erik Jutten and Thesis Graphic Design by Gert Dumbar
Practice Tutor
Next to the theoretical development of the students and the design ‘on paper’ it is the ambition of INSIDE tot stimulate the students as “entrepreneurs”. This is also the reason why INSIDE has chosen the motto “design for the changing world”.
Students are asked to do research in the real world and to do tests on a 1 to 1 scale. Every semester INSIDE gives a public presentation of the projects in a real world context and on a one to one scale. To realize this, Erik Jutten works from the start until the end of the semester to develop the projects.
Erik Jutten graduated in 2004 from the Fine Art department of the Royal Academy in The Hague.
In his graduation project Erik Jutten devoted himself to connecting students and developing their projects. A role he has since continued as initiator of and partner in diverse public space projects. Erik’s main activities surround ‘City in the Making‘ in Rotterdam.

Raumlaborberlin – Benjamin Foerster-Baldenius & Markus Bader
STUDIO URBAN 2016 & 2017
Raumlaborberlin
There was once a society that believed the future would bring better living conditions to everyone. There were people, utopian thinkers, who thought about the big questions of the city. Today only a feeling remains, half desire, half melancholy, reminiscing of those architects who wanted to live in a better society and who had dreamed of better places. Such an era is now over. Here begins my work.
raumlaborberlin is a network, a collective of 8 trained architects who have come together in a collaborative work-structure. We work at the intersection of architecture, city planning, art and urban intervention. We address in our work city and urban renewal as a process. We are attracted to difficult urban locations. Places torn between different systems, time periods or planning ideologies, that can not adapt. Places that are abandoned, left over or in transition that contains some relevance for the processes of urban transformations. These places are our experimentation sites. They offer untapped potential which we try to activate. This opens new perspectives for alternative usage patterns, collective ideals, urban diversity and difference.
OMA – Mark Veldman

SUPERUSE STUDIOS – Jan Jongert and Junyuan Chen
FLOWS 2011-current
Contemporary interiors increasingly depend on a complex of connecting flows. The research group INSIDEflows investigates the specifications and behaviour of these flows to support the development of sustainable design methods.
Jan Jongert studied architecture in Delft University of Technology and the Academy of Architecture in Rotterdam where he graduated in 2003. The Rotterdam-based office exploits and builds on the potential of the design context in terms of its environment, potential workforce, energy sources, waste materials and 12 other flows.
Jongert has worked on various projects, ranging from Villa Welpeloo to redevelopment strategies for urban districts in Heerlen and Gouda. In 2013 Jan Jongert transformed 2012Architecten into Superuse Studios.
Junyuan Chen graduated from INSIDE (Master Interior Architecture) at the Royal Academy of Art, the Hague, in 2015. Her design approach is to start an encompassing research based on her own observations and analysis. In her work, she’s including political as well as environmental issues, and integrates technology and social needs. In 2016, she starts collaborating with Superuse studios (Netherlands), and sets up the Superuse Studios China in Beijing. Currently she teaches Research Methodology at the Central Academy of Fine Art in Beijing and the FLOWS study programme at INSIDE, Master Interior Architecture.
THEORY
The course links theoretical and intuitive insights of both theorists and students to practical case studies. Working on these shared case studies familiarizes students with both theoretical and practical concerns in spatial design.
