208: Making Self-Initiated Projects Work with Tjeerd Haccou & Marthjin Pool of Space&Matter

Today I have the pleasure of speaking with two of the founders of Space&Matter, Tjeerd Haccou, and Marthjin Pool. The third found Sascha Glasl was not able to join us today.

Tjeerd carried out his architectural training both at TU-Delft, and SCI-Arc, Los Angeles, Sascha studied architecture at RWTH Aachen and graduated cum laude, and Martijn completed his Master of Science at the Technical University of Delft, faculty of Interactive Architecture. 

In 2009, at the height of the economic crisis, they founded Space&Matter.  United by the desire to improve the world for their children and all future generations, their journey began with Water voor Wonen, a floating neighborhood in the Dutch Polder. This circular and innovative design not only won first place in a national competition but also sparked the creation of Space&Matter.

For over a decade, government officials, project developers, and community leaders have turned to Space&Matter for innovative solutions to complex urban challenges. 

In today’s episode we will discuss:

• The Ecosystem & Venture
• Being an architect developer, contractor 
• Funding projects
