At the end of January 2016, our Human Cities partner Castle Cieszyn Design Center celebrated their 11th anniversary with an action-packed programme of lectures, discussions, concerts and exhibitions. Our Founder and Creative & Strategic Director Thomas Ermacora delivered the keynote speech and talked about “recoding the city: unleashing human potential through third spaces”. Thomas and our Chief Executive Frank van Hasselt also took part in a panel discussion to explore the changing role of design. We would like to thank our friends at Castle Cieszyn for inviting us to their wonderful birthday party and giving us an opportunity to get to know Silesia.
