We are very excited for the Rotterdam book launch of ‘Paradijs van imperfectie’ at
@school_for_the_city !
Violette Schönberger’s recently published essay collection offers a blend of professional insights and personal experiences. Through her writing,
@violetteschonberger delves into the beauty of the imperfect city, exploring its social and cultural impact.
During this event, Violette will discuss her fascination with the imperfect city together with urban planner
@jeroenvandam . While Violette writes about urban development safely from behind her desk, Jeroen takes a more hands-on approach, exploring the city’s fringes and capturing stunning photos of its raw, unpolished areas. Together, they’ll discuss whether these unique places can be designed or if the pursuit of imperfection is itself a form of decadence.
