Architecture is the only creativeindustry that has been

acknowledged in national policy

An intricate networko local and regionalorganisations andarchitecture centres arededicated to knowledgemanagement and

interaction, includingArchitectuur Lokaal. Thelink between architectureand complex regionaldevelopment tasksstrengthens the bondwith new markets andthe real estate world,all in search o newsustainable solutions.

This dense tapestryo individual roleso various players inthe golden triangle iswhat characterises theinnovation networko Dutch architectureservices industry today.

Dutch architecture andplanning enjoy a stronginternational reputation.

Given the act thatmany spin-os arestarted by oreigners,that openness should beextended towards themand their frms as well.

The high quality in designis developed by the Dutchpolitical system in whichscience, creativity andplanning were closely linked.The Modern movement,the Randstad concept, andthe Superdutch architectureare all phenomenaborn rom this special

tradition, characterisedby conceptual power,pragmatism, exibility,cratsmanship andoriginality. The geographicalconcentration o leadingdesign frms as well as thedense institutional abrico ormal and inormalinstitutions underpins the

competitiveness o thesector. The long-standingDutch tradition o creatingopportunities or newfrms (or instance, byenlightened commissioning)supports the innovativeedge o the sector.

The sector as a whole isrethinking its creativeentrepreneurial position,and is considering movinginto other design areas.The leading design ofceshave geographically

diversifed their marketsduring the last decadeand have become trueinternational frms withofces in New York, Beijing,Hong Kong, Shanghai,Toronto, and Zrich.

The crisis has set thestage or a radical shake-up o the entire industry,signalling that the sectorneeds to change. As shownby previous crises (e.g. the1980s), severe conditions

can push frms to adoptnew market approachesand innovations, includingorganisational innovations.The current generationo Superdutch architectsis the child o such aprevious crisis. CLICK//BEAU similarly perceivesthe current crisis as an

innovative opportunity,and not as a threat.

CREATIVE CLOUDacilitates sharing libraries,archives, data, and designswith all partners in the

HOTBED/TEST BEDperceives the urbanenvironment as a livinglab, allowing designers

to switch rom a supply-oriented service industrytowards a demand-oriented industry. Thatsame urban environmenthas to provide the nichewhere new and innovativedesign businesses canourish. Hotbed/test bedinvestigates and improves

those conditions.

CUTTING EDGE createsknowledge and developsskills that allow the Dutcharchitectural services

The Dutch architectural service industry has the opportunity toperceive the Dutch society as a living lab, a territory that acesgrand challenges such as climate and energy.

The cross-cutting topics o the CLICK agenda, the options linking the agendas o other

leading sectors and the related socio-spatial challenges that are identifed in the rameworko the new architecture and design policy represent jointly the innovation themes or theyears to come. Based on discussions with its partners, CLICK//BEAU envisages our newreinorcing programmes: Cutting Edge, Value Chain, Hotbed/Test Bed and Creative Cloud.

A undamental researchapproach is requiredthat delves into therequirements o newand retroftted buildings.How can they respond todierent types o usesand users? The answers

need to be translated intoconcepts to be tested inliving lab conditions.A similar challenge existson an urban scale as well.City centres and urbandistricts oten lack adesign strategy that givesserious considerationto the requirements o

with work or decades tocome. The task allowsthe introduction o newand innovative high-techmaterials with propertiesthat help to improvethe quality o lie inbuildings and the overallurban environment.

RESOURCE EFFICIENCYA pressing innovative leapthat the Dutch architecturalservice industry has tomake concerns the recasto the EU directive onenergy perormance obuildings (2002/91/EC).

This directive requiresthat rom 2020, all newbuildings (and all buildingsthat undergo majorrenovation) become nearlyzero energy buildings.

In the course o thenext decade, Dutchdesigners will need to

explore how to turn thisrequirement into newdesign concepts that allowthem to innovate Dutcharchitecture once more.Becoming internationalleading experts in the feldo zero energy buildingwill allow the architecturaldesign industry to expand

Cutting edgeprogramme

From time to time, the architecture and built environment sector is able to take a collectiveleap orward as a result o external impulses, such as the introduction o national or EUregulations or the current economic crisis. The next innovative leap that the architectureservices industry has to make concerns resource efciency, user-inspired design, and reuse.

innovation. The state, provinces,

regions and municipalities

commission many projects

involving buildings, publicspaces, centres, districts,

cities and landscapes. This

means the government can

play a strategic role as an early

adaptor o innovations, while

paving the way or innovative

start-up design frms.

EU The EU provides additional

unding opportunities throughthe FP7 EEB PPP, INTERREG,

the Intelligent Energy Europe

(IEE) programmes, Joint

Programming Initiatives on Urban

Europe and Cultural Heritage &

Global Change. Success rates

in European programmes are

low. CLICK//BEAU welcomes a

subsidy scheme or coordinators/

lead partners that allow themto invest time and money in

the development o European

research proposals.

NWO Fundamental research

is required into the topics o

energy efciency, user behaviour

and reuse. These areas cover

respectively the traditional NWO

felds o technology (STW), social

sciences and the humanities.In assessing the quality o

researchers and proposals,

NWO should incorporate design

as a core qualifcation or

research in Built Environment,

Architecture, Urbanism.

TNO The TNO budget includes

instruments such as Technology

Cluster, Branch InnovationContract, and Co-fnancing. TNOs

position in the Energy Efciency

Building association could be

o strategic importance in the

area o resource efciency.

UNIVERSITIES The universities

operate in the areas o

undamental research, applied

research and valorisation.

REGION National, regional

and local governments can

status as technology in this

respect. Design is a solid driver

o innovation in the architectural

services industry. Instruments

that are aimed at supporting

innovation need to underscore

this. Defnitions should beadjusted where necessary.

Innovatie Prestatie Contracten

(IPC) can be useul as well. An

IPC subsidy however amounts

to 25k per SME or projects

with a total o 10 to maximum

20 SMEs. An IPC project can

thereore be budgeted between

250k (small) and 500k (large).

FDCI INNOVATION VOUCHERS

The Federatie Dutch Creative

Industries (FDCI) proposes to

introduce innovation vouchers

that acilitate short-term research

projects, initiated by the creative

industry and conducted by

research institutes, universities

and the industry itsel. These

vouchers will be relatively small,worth 7,500 each, but there are

hundreds o SMEs in the sector

that could make use o them.

FIRMS A recent poll o the

members o the Federatie Dutch

Creative Industries (FDCI) shows

that creative entrepreneurs

are willing to invest an average

o 14,000 out o pocket and

3,500 in sta time in theCLICK programme. The goal

is to include up to hundred

participating entrepreneurs.

MINISTRY OF EL&I The same

FDCI poll revealed that 55% o

them were aware o instruments

such as the WBSO, but never

applied or them, while 25% o

the members had even neverheard o them. In all, 80% o

the creative entrepreneurs have

no experience with the WBSO,

or have even heard o it.

EL&I needs to ensure that the

instruments such as the WBSO,

RDA, RDA+ or IPC are tailor-

made or the creative industry.

and development enjoy. Design
