He was also a Professor of Building Technology in the Faculty of Architecture at Delft University of Technology and was Chairman of the Royal Institute of Dutch Architects (BNA). He was also the first Governmental Advisor for Infrastructure. In this capacity he acted as chairman of the Randstad 2040 design workshops in the spring 2008.

Water, Wind and Wheels.
The Netherlands is a flat country with around 40% of its area under sea level. That means lots of water and wind. Apart from that our country is an almost overcrowded country.
Climate change, rising of the seawater level, social and cultural changes should change our attitude towards the existing systems and way of life.
How can we use water, wind and wheels to make our country greener and how can designers contribute to this.
