Entrepreneurial Stories: Studio Kathryn Larsen

Last week Kathryn Larsen returned to the TU Delft to share her experience as an architect and entrepreneur. Kathryn is the founder of Denmark’s first biotech architecture studio and as a alumna of our faculty, her talk was an inspiration for many students following the AR0144 course, not only the ones that are pursuing biobased ventures. This lecture is part of the inspirational lecture series Entrepreneurial Stories, where young entrepreneurs in the built environment show how their companies face today’s societal challenges. Make sure to join us next Monday, June 5th, for the next lecture of the series by Jaime Alonso, founder of Nonica.

Excursion AR0144 to de Machinist

Earlier this month, students of the MSc elective BK-Launch Studio made a visit to De Machinist. De Machinist is an historic building in the centre of Rotterdam, now home to a number of small companies, meeting rooms and a restaurant. A vibrant place, full of entrepreneurial activity! We were welcomed by the architects of MOR Studio and the team of BLOC bv, sharing the story of their companies and the experience of working from De Machinist. Hopefully, they have inspired our students to start on their projects and face them like entrepreneurs!
Thank you for having us and sharing your stories, MOR Studio & BLOC bv, we hope these lemon trees brighten up the workplace!

THE WRAP UP: The Entrepreneurship Week

We are looking back at a successful and inspiring week of events. We kicked-off the week with a lecture by Caro van de Venne, discussed the hot topic of Women in Entrepreneurship and closed off by granting young entrepreneurs to continue their entrepreneurial journey during the Entrepreneurship Awards. Together with Alijd van Doorn, BNA and several guest speakers, we hosted four workshops regarding the topic “How do I start my own design firm?” for a large group of ambitious students. We are sure we have inspired many to develop their good ideas and think like an entrepreneur. Do you want to read more or view the photo’s click here.
