On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings, we host inspiring seminars followed by a guided tour of Living LAB 040. Each seminar has its own theme and offers new insights, practical examples, and opportunities for networking and discussion.

Tuesday: Urban Village
Cities face a major densification challenge. High-rise buildings seem to be the norm, but is there another way? At Living LAB 040, we explored alternatives from social, societal, and ecological perspectives. This led to Urban Village – an innovative housing concept that rethinks how we live and build together. Discover what it means for your work and how you can contribute to the first pilot.
Wednesday: Living Environment of Tomorrow
Area development is becoming increasingly complex. Ambitions are growing, but how do you keep them alive in practice? And what role does the creative industry play? Together with Fontys and creative partners, Living LAB 040 investigates how to create future-proof living environments. During this seminar, we share the first insights.
Thursday: Healthy Living Environment
City living doesn’t automatically equal a healthy environment. Urban densification often reduces green space and biodiversity, while heat stress and air pollution rise. Increasingly, homes are built in unhealthy locations. How can we make better choices and design for positive health – putting residents’ well-being first? Find out during this event.
Practical information
Registration for the seminar and guided tour is mandatory! You can sign up via the Eventbrite link, where you’ll find the different times and themes. To maintain quality, each seminar has a maximum of 25 participants. If there is high demand, we will explore the possibility of organizing additional sessions during DDW.
Each seminar starts at 10:00 AM with an interactive presentation and time for discussion. This is followed by a guided tour of Living LAB 040, offering insights into current experiments, research, and lessons learned. We finish around 12:30 PM.
