Social impact
CPO Geworteld Wonen, Rijswijk
Social impactIn September 2015, the United Nations Member States adopted a
set of ‘sustainable development goals‘1 to end poverty, protect the
planet and ensure prosperity for all as part of a new sustainable
development agenda. Concrete objectives aimed at ending
poverty, protecting the earth and providing prosperity for everyone.
Goals that can only be reached if everyone plays their part.
We feel directly addressed by the eleventh UN objective for
Sustainable Cities and Communities: make cities inclusive, safe,
resilient and sustainable. After all, this affects our daily work directly:
creating places where people live together in a pleasant and healthy
way, considering the ‘social impact’ of every choice we make.
Inbo designs tomorrows society in full swing and creates solutions
for now and for future generations. We like to be inspired by others.
Crossovers with other disciplines bring us new insights and solutions.
Examples of how we put this into practice are arranged in this
booklet along eight themes, intended as a starting point for a
discussion on ambitions, policy, design, process and technology.
Let it inspire you and tell us what you think of it, so that we can take
the next step together.

Whom do you make space for?The tasks we face are strongly colored by actualities. Young people
are struggling to find an affordable home in the city. Older people
must increasingly become and remain self-reliant. Air quality in cities
is strongly threatened by particular matter and nitrogen dioxide,
biodiversity is decreasing. We increasingly seek inspiring places to –
in addition to digital contacts – meet other people, share knowledge
and do business together.
People want to have influence on their everyday environment. They
look for an environment that suits them, that gives identity, where
they can live safely with the people they feel connected with. We
believe in the benefits of co-creation. Including end-users in the
design of their building and living or working environment, creates
greater commitment and a broader sense of ownership. A well
organised dynamic dialogue leads to widely supported strategies.
The development of a city is a common process that is very
dependent on individual investments. The public debate on this
yields a lot: more understanding for one another, supported
solutions and closer communities. Involvement of end-users and
other stakeholders in the design process makes buildings and their
surrounding environment well loved and therefore more future-proof.
What do you add and leave behind?Renewal ofttimes symbolizes progress. Raw materials are
converted into products that shape our world. Buildings are still
fed with fossil resources. This is non-progressive. Global warming,
climate change and resources of raw materials are being depleted.
That must and can change. As economist; Kate Raworth puts it in
her ‘Doughnut Economics’ theory: “Instead of economies that need
to grow, whether or not they make us thrive, we need economies
that make us thrive, whether or not they grow.”2
We must work together on a new ecosystem based on circularity.
Revenue models based on use instead of ownership, cycles that
interlock to reduce waste and unnecessary use of raw materials.
Healthy and flexible buildings and environments that can have
numerous uses and are appreciated by their inhabitants.
As a designer, contractor, client and consultant, you set the bar.
Your buildings determine the quality of streets and squares where
people pass and stay each day. Your choices determine how
healthy buildings are, how they stand the test of time, how flexible
they are towards future usability. And above all; they determine the
quality of life for the users of those buildings.

What role do you play?New revenue models make it possible to move from an economy
based on linear material flows – from raw material to waste – to
a new resilient system with an endless material cycle. If we can
use materials and products over and over again, other financing
models become feasible. Buildings obtain a different residual
value, suppliers and producers will request their products be
returned to be able to sell – or lease – them recurringly.
A shift from product to service, from ownership to usage is the result.
An economy that instead of unbridled growth, focuses on prosperity
and well-being by making smarter use of what is already there.
And we always need to think about the long term effects, about the
total life cycle of buildings. Cheap materials and solutions often
require more maintenance, break down faster and therefore need
to be replaced sooner. They are less manageable and thus achieve
less energy savings, compounding to a less healthy indoor climate.
In order to avoid unnecessary costs and material wasteage, it is
important, during the design process, to always find a balance
between specific user needs and generic flexibility, between unique
iconic design and careful integration in the environment, between
interests of owners and end-users, between initial costs and long
term added value.
Create space
Inbo creates space for people and for the city. We are committed to creating healthy and green cities where people live in harmony; happy, healthy and comfortably. We design and transform adaptive buildings that provide an answer to current issues and everyday requirements. Through our work we spearhead the transition towards a circular economy. Focused on the future; meeting needs for generations to come.
We work with respect for one another, on projects that make us happy. We always consult with the people for whom we design buildings and public spaces. We seek the similarities and embrace the differences. The implementation of new techniques aids in our focus on aspects where human brainpower is still indispensable. Together, we are able to accelerate, scale up and put into practice innovative ideas.
Creating a healthy future.
How do you contribute to a healthy city?
The design of the built environment has a physical
and mental influence on all of us. Physically, because
buildings and the materials they are built from
influence the quality of the air we breathe, both inside
and outside. Mentally, because buildings and urban
environments can literally bring people to action – if
well designed. A ‘clean’ task for us as designers is
to create places that bring a smile to your face and
warmth to your heart which sets your mind at ease.

The beauty of a sustainable second life.
What makes a second future attractive?
The collective memory of a place is often connected to
the buildings that stand there and the activities that took
place there. A place becomes a special collection of
stories as historical values get new impulses time and
again. The amazing quality of living in an old factory.
The beauty of generous excess and a sharp contrast of
times. The existing quality, the space and the materials
are all gifts. You only need to make them visible.
And shall we then design all new buildings in such
a way that they too can change function during their
lifespan and be revived in 50 years?

The new no-waste economy.
How to attain a no-waste economy?
Circular building is about much more than re-using old
window frames. It requires a radical change in thinking,
in which we recognize that waste should not exist,
materials should retain their value and old products
would form the basis for new ones. This makes room
for different business models. We will design modularly
with remountable parts, derived from the frequent
perspective thought of total life cycle. There will be a shift
from ownership to usage, with suppliers lending their
products. In doing so we start the behavioural change
that is needed to achieve a real no-waste economy.

Creating communities.
How can we build neighbourhoods together that instil civic pride?
The most close-knit residential communities are often
built on a shared pride. That pride is usually not linked
to the built brick homes themselves, but to what people
shared with each other and continually share over the
years. That probably explains the success of many a
collective private commissioning project; where people
are already neighbourly before the neighbourhood
is even built. Whether it is based on a common
background or a dream for the future, knowing one
another’s dreams for their collective future creates
involvement and pride.
Everyone has a say.

Spatial mediation.
How does one spearhead sustainable spatial development?
Spearheading is about inspiring connections and also
dealing with ‘defeat’. An ideal has greater strength when
it becomes a movement, tackling it in numbers, putting
great minds together is better than facing a problem
alone. By looking at things on a larger scale level, what
was once unattainable becomes feasible. Letting go is
inextricably linked with that when rules and legislations
make great achievement more difficult. Zoning plan?
Energy law? Why not map out the possibilities at the
certain levels, then come together with combined yet
different interests to exchange energy flows and, by
doing so, achieve astonishing yet feasible plans?

Buildings with a sense of place.
How do your buildings give value to others?
A building is hardly ever meant for just the people who
live or work there. Buildings shape streets and squares,
making places in the city. Buildings radiate openness
or embrace space, they can form a wall or mark a spot.
Their function, form and appearance give meaning to the
space they create, inside and outside. With the buildings
you create, you create landmarks in the city, places to
meet, space for the individual as well as the community.
A good building gets built but a great building tells a story
that becomes part of the collective memory.

Craftsmanship merged with new technologies.
How can technology improve efficiency and productivity?
Digitalisation. Artificial Intelligence. Robotisation,
3D printing, Internet of Things, big data. Generative
design. Virtual and Augmented Reality. That idealistic,
seemingly future is already practically applicable.
Technology is steeply taking flight. It decreases
workloads; creating new possibilities. This starts with
simple repetitive tasks – stacking bricks virtually or
physically – and extends to algorithms which are
able to realise smarter buildings than the human
brain. Whether they are similarly or even exceedingly
pleasant to stay in is a relevant question. Nevertheless,
let’s use these techniques to exploit our own thinking
power for the real difficult questions.

Processes that generate energy.
How do we collectively generate added value and fun?
All projects must be designed integrally in these times,
this mantra is applied in our office. Therein lies the
danger of endless consultation with everyone about
everything. Collective added value and processes
that give energy come from respect for each other’s
knowledge and expertise. Integrality lies in managing
the interfaces where disciplines meet. To do so, it
helps to speak each other’s language. Herein lies the
importance of the social process. Knowing one another
makes it easier to pose a question. Crossovers occur
naturally then.
