Cityscapeeast by Irene Janze
The lecture Cityscapeeast will guide you through the imbedding and brief history of Cityscapeeast itself. The presentation is about the backgrounds of the products, waste - landscapes, public models and the quest of the mobile Public Centre of the Netherlands. Cityscapeeast takes you on an expedition. From the Indische Buurt of Amsterdam the journey will take you to the Dam square before, during and after the wedding ceremony of the Crown Prince of Netherlands via New York City to Berlin. Bon voyage.

Proportional space models by Helena Koning
From the two models exhibited at 66 East, one of the Indische Buurt and one of Manhattan, the translation of the feeling of space in the city into a proportional space model on the principle of the urban factor will be discussed.
