Dear Richard and Tom,
about a year ago Tom told me about this idea in a restaurant where the food and service was quite forgettable. Tom’s idea, however, was quite memorable. It was the first thing that popped into my mind when this summer I heard about Urban Resort Projects. A friend of mine, Doreen Westphal, who is the creator and owner of Krejci, took office in ‘het Volkskrantgebouw‘ in Amsterdam, where URP also has the ambition to create an environment where different disciplines meet and inspire each other. I have been there briefly and it seemed like a very social place to work.
In my understanding you want to go a step further with this project by wanting more than just creating office space for small inspiring businesses. You want to actually unify living and working by creating a social living space where it will be fun to work at. I think the idea is beautiful. I have to say the idea does raise a lot of practical questions, but it seems they are quite irrelevant in this stage of your project. Currently, it is about concept and vision and I like it. Lots.
The way I’m thinking about things now, I’d like to get started as a computergame-designer for an existing company, before I start thinking about my own small business. However, starting my own business is what I intend to eventually do. And I think that, might I ever get that far, I’d be very happy a project like Kubus exists. I have many interests and I’d want nothing more than to work and live in an environment which inspires me. Art is about many things and this project could offer them. You can put me on that list!
In high expectation of what may come,
Tijn.
Het lot tarten door het met stomheid te slaan.
