PosadMaxwan (NL)

PosadMaxwan are urban designers who believe in healthy, sustainable, smart cities. More and more people are moving to urban areas, even as cities face major challenges around climate, mobility, health and inclusivity. It’s a complex puzzle that calls for new spatial solutions. At PosadMaxwan, we identify important, urgent tasks and ask relevant questions. We work with clients who are open to exploring new pathways and curious about innovative, unconventional ideas. We help them by showing them what a clean, healthy city looks like and what we can do today to move toward that goal. We achieve this through research, strategy, design and implementation. Our team of masterminds and master planners dives deep into problems, deploys data to find human solutions, and connects levels of scale. In this way, we render challenges comprehensible so we can make decisions based in the here and now.

Generation.Energy (NL)

We are Generation.Energy: designers who connect renewable energy with other modern-day challenges. We advise on the spatial implications of the energy transition. Generation.Energy has an extensive GIS database with landscape and energetic features that we use for scenario studies and design, rapid analyzes and tools, and participation.

Data-driven tools. We use tools for our spatial explorations and designs; calculation models, geographic analysis and GIS models. These tools provide the opportunity to share information with stakeholders, explore choices and draw conclusions. With our analysis we can zoom in to the local level, collect features and details, and zoom out again to a larger overview.

Spatial design and advice. Generation.Energy shows where renewable energy generation can find a place. We make the spatial consequences of the transition towards renewable energy visible and work towards logically coherent scenarios. Our integrated approach is paramount: we safeguard the cohesion with other spatial transitions, and look at the intersections between the various scale levels and transition paths.

Participation. We love images. Images create a common language, and make complex matter accessible to both professionals and citizens without a background in energy. Through images we bring different stakeholders, inhabitants and government officials together.
