A public lecture from Hedwig Heinsman in the context of Prof. Catherine De Wolf's Future Cities Lab Design Studio 'Digital Creativity for Circular Construction' organized by the Chair of Circular Engineering for Architecture (CEA), in the Institute of Construction and Infrastructure Management (IBI), at the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geomatic Engineering (D-BAUG) at ETH Zurich.

Hedwig Heinsman, co-founder of both architecture company DUS and 3D Print Tech company Aectual Aectual. DUS was founded in 2004 by its three partners, architects Hans Vermeulen, Martine de Wit and Hedwig Heinsman, out of the desire to re-connect architecture with the public. The experienced office worked on large-scale projects such as the re-design of 70.000 m2 piers and gates at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, large urban strategies, architecture, and retail projects. It received international acclaim for its innovative designs such as the Worlds’ largest interactive light design for the KapellBrücke in Luzern, a temporary building for the Dutch EU presidency, a unique 3D printed bottle for Chanel, and as initiators of the 3D Print Canal House, an internationally acclaimed design-and-build research project into new global housing solutions and market explorations. DUS has won several awards, including the prestigious Amsterdam Awards for the Arts 2011 (‘Amsterdamprijs voor de Kunst’) and SEA Global sustainability Award 2014, next to Barack Obama.
