Marrakesh / Market

Beautiful chaos. I recommend a "tour guide" your first time here as it is very easy to get lost in these tiny streets and alley ways. In 1147, the Berber Almohades conquered the city, destroying most of the buildings and rebuilding its' medina. A bustling market with different sections including tile, metal, art, scarves, jewelry, rugs, antiques, teas, oils, etc. Be careful to decipher what "shops" are authentically Berber, and which are actually just items made in china. A tour guide will also help teach you what to look out for...

Rotterdam / Architect

I am a young architect fascinated by the city dynamic, dedicated to contribute my part in the liveliness of our urban fabric, professionally as well as a user. On the one hand, I see it as my purpose to design architecture towards vibrant encounters with the world around us. On the other, I see it as my duty to experience this lively reality, to enjoy and be inspired. I love sharing these inspirations with the community on this website.
