Architecture has so many ways to address the dilemmas now millions are facing, how to organize life in lockdown, social distancing, separation, or working remotely. How to design presence in absence?

Past roles include editor-in-chief of Volume (2005-2007, a magazine he co-founded with OMA and Columbia University) and director of the national Netherlands Architecture Institute (NAi) (2006-2013).
