Embassies
Embassy of Digital Futures
In an era where technological breakthroughs are happening faster than ever before, we are facing major changes. Digital inventions can solve many of our problems, but they also bring new challenges. How do we deal with this new digital version of reality that is taking over our biological, natural world?
Embassy of Inclusive Society
The Embassy of Inclusive Society invites you to think of inclusivity as a process. It is not a one-off action or a tick on a checklist. Rather than a fixed result, we propose considering inclusivity as a series of experiences in which we unlearn old habits and learn new things. Think, for example, of the words we use or the way we treat each other. Every step we take, we ask ourselves questions about social norms and relationships. And more importantly, every decision or action leads to the next step, a new learning moment.

Embassy of Safety
Those who commit crimes will be punished. It’s been that way since time immemorial and will likely remain so for the foreseeable future. Is that actually true? No. Societies have employed alternatives to punishment throughout the ages. So-called ‘sanctuaries’, for example, facilitated reconciliation between parties by enforcing rules that protected the offenders and victims alike. Slowly but surely, these historical ideas are making a comeback. For example, community service is now a way for offenders to repay their debt to society. And restorative justice is emerging as a serious alternative to punishment. This process takes into consideration the perspective of the offender and the victim. In fact, reconciliation makes a great deal of sense because after a crime the parties involved want to move on, which is hard to do if they’re still in conflict.

Embassy of Mobility
Creating liveable cities together, that is what the Embassy of Mobility stands for. With creative makers, such as designers and mobility professionals, but especially with city residents, travellers and companies. We can brainstorm, experiment and change together. What does our city look like without cars in front of the door? And what do we get in place of them? More greenery? More homes? Places to get together and relax? We will explore these questions together and experiment with possible solutions.

Embassy of Circular & Biobased Building
If we want to build a sustainable world, we must consider the entire system. That’s what Possible Landscapes stands for. In this multi-year programme, Biobased Creations, as the creative leader of the Embassy, explores new perspectives for a living environment that add ecological and social value in addition to economic value. In collaboration with creatives, local stakeholders and knowledge partners. Through storytelling and imagination, we involve experts and the general public in this research and its outcomes, as we did in 2019 with The Growing Pavilion and in 2021 with The Exploded View.

Embassy of Food
Our food system, and the current way of consuming it, is in dire need of change. However, the question of how to go about this has been bogged down for some time now. Designers can play a role in changing the way we look at this and in shaping the world behind our food and the relationship we have with it better and differently. The Embassy of Food wants to bring together imagination and reality by being a place where, in addition to designers, people from the entire food chain come together to experiment with each other; from farmer to scientist and from policy officer to supermarket manager. So, with design power and in meaningful collaborations in this in-between space, we will look for the answer to the question: how can we take a fresh look at the sticking points and thereby reshape the current food system?
