As Dutch Design Awards transitions into the future, we look back at how last year’s winners are reshaping the capacity of the Design field for impact. We bring Arcadia into focus:

Bosk applies gentle yet firm pressure to green cities. By sketching with groups on real trees, a sense of meaning and then loss was evoked. A brilliant idea, but incredibly complex to get done and to mobilize so many people and parties.

The Gemeente Leeuwarden committed itself in advance to giving the trees a permanent place. The entire process is exemplary, with trees as prominent protagonists.
